Found it here. As good as the original, orange one is, no reason to think this won’t work.
hook - BVFT Dry #14
thread - Danville 6/0 black
body - hackle purple (trimmed < gap width)
hackle - grizzly (trimmed gap width top&bottom)

That is interesting Scott, looks like a neon Griffiths Gnat! Not sure I have any purple hackle but I've got to find some and tie a few of those.
Thanks for sharing,

Cliff,
Thanks. I use a cheap, purple Chinese cape, which works just fine, so don’t feel you need to spend a lot of money on good hackle there. The grizzly is from a proper dry fly saddle.

Scott
