Is that a black miracle midge with a peacock herl thorax?
That is a Chan's Midge using burgundy thread, red scud back with a silver wire rib. The Thorax is white ostrich herl at the front and peacock at the back with pheasant-tail pulled over the top.
Here's a good article on Chan's methods: http://www.flyfishersrepublic.com/ta...nomid-tactics/
Hope that helps.
