Wisconsin tyer George Close’s Comparadun version of the Cap?s Hair Wing, from the early 80’s. Again, subbed stiffer elk for tail/body and used Antron/hare for the thorax (didn’t have any carpet laying around in the proper shade).

hook - Dai Riki 300 #10
thread - UTC 140 brown
tail/body- elk hair
rib - tying thread
wing - deer hair
thorax - dubbing Antron/hare’s ear brown

Regards,
Scott
