A U.K. seatrout pattern. Found it here; they provide links to the tying video.

underwing - Flashabou pearl
wing - Australian possum dyed black
I don’t have any of the possum dyed black, but I just recently acquired a large stash of Black Bear hair from a taxidermist. Would the bear hair work as a substitute?
Scott, You’re killing me with your submissions!! Very good work you’ve been posting, I have found a lot of patterns to try; more than I have time to tie!! Seriously, though I appreciate your submissions and have printed some off to tie. Working on Autumn one from a bit ago. Got the pheasant rump and used koolaid to dye it orange. Now to make some time to tie! Keep it up, I will never run out of flies to tie. You have posted a lot of unique patterns that I have never seen before. Nice and buggy looking!
Thanks!!!
Tied some up. I substituted some Black Bear for the Possum. That Black Bear hair is some coarse, wiry stuff! Less is definitely more! Also, size 4 is probably as small as I would go with Black Bear. The three flies are tied on Daiichi 2161, size 4. The six are tied on 3xl streamer hooks, size 4.
