Hook: Knapek Midge Pupa #16
Tail: Golden Pheasant
Body: Turkey Biot
Thorax: FTD Mr. Peacock
Hackle: Grizzly Dry Fly
Note: To tie the hackle stacker I used Midge Diamond Braid and wound the hackle up about a 1/4″ and back down to tie off. Pulled the diamond braid back and dubbed the thorax area. Then pulled the midge braid over the thorax to form the hackle stack or paraloop.
Cheers

This pattern’s orgins are from England. The original pattern called for a thread body with an overbody of pearl tinsel to give the fly a semi tranparent appearance. Also the the Thorax dubbing used was Olive Star Fire hair Dubbing. I decided to use the magic strechy cord to give it the same tranparent effect and made it a bit more durable in doing this. I mixed the olive dubbings the best I could to acheive the original effect of the fire star dubbing. This pattern is great for tailwaters used as a trailer fly.
