A co-creation of Michigan tyers Don Fox and Jay Neve. A few minor changes to the original - tied in on a 2xl hook, swapped out the mink tail for moose body and added a rib to the body hackle for a little more durability. This one?s going to want to twist the leader so I?ll fish it on 3x.
hook - TMC 5212 #10
thread - Danville 6/0 pale yellow
tail- moose body hair
rib - x-small wire gold
rear hackle - grizzly (undersize by 2)
body - dubbing dirty yellow
wing - grizzly hen hackle tips
front hackle - grizzly/brown

Prepare a pair of hen tips, measure (shank length); tie in(convex to convex)/trim, take a few wraps in front to help set angle
