Swapped out the marabou tail with cc rabbit for a little more body and the jig hook for a straight-eye; I was out of schlappen so I double-hackled with a Chinese neck, just using the meatier butt section. Change colors to suit your needs.

hook - Eagle Claw 413 #2
thread - UTC 140 hot orange
tail/body - cross-cut rabbit hot orange
flash - Flashabou gold
hackle - fuschia
head - chenille hot orange
eyes - dumbell large silver

Part 1

mash barb; tie in eyes right at the angle and brush on a little Super Glue

tie in rabbit; brush shank with Super Glue, wrap rabbit, tie off/trim

tie in flash on either side; trim

tie in (folded) hackle; sweep fibers back while wrapping, tie off/trim

strip end of chenille, tie in

Nice tie but make sure you sharpen those Eagle Claw 413’s…definitely not the sharpest hook around. I definitely like the look of the fly on a jig hook, regardless. All that rabbit is going to that much tough to throw when wet, but will definitely be more durable as well, which is probably a big plus if you going after salmon instead of steelhead.
