I am tying some old fly patterns from a book of old patterns I have. I didn't do justice to this one because I only had mylar tinsel instead of fine gold wire for ribbing.
I think it is a very interesting pattern though, because the abdomen is formed by wrapping 2 brown and 1 yellow moose main fibers. Unfortunately, the tinsel kind of overwhelms the body.
Anyone else tie this old pattern?
Thanks,
Byron
