Reminds me of an English Setter; very tweedy. Original pattern calls for a darker “faced” badger at the front but I haven’t run into that chicken, yet.
hook - Mustad 3906 #10
thread - Danville 6/0 black
rib - oval tinsel silver
tail - teal flank
body - muskrat
body hackle - badger (undersize by 1)
hackle - hen badger
Part 1
mash barb, start thread, tie in rib and wrap to bend
measure (shank) some teal flank; tie in/trim butts
dub thread/dub tapered body
tie in hackle, reverse-palmer to bend
capture tip of hackle with rib, continue to front; tie off/trim, trim hackle tip
