Thread: Olive 8/0
Rib: Lime green super floss
Body: Arizona synthetic peacock (dubbing)
Wingcase: Pheasant tail
Thorax: Peacock herl

Instructions: Wind thread onto the hook and tie in a piece of
super floss. Dub in the Arizona synthetic peacock and
form the abdomen to 3/4 of the hook shank.
Counter wind the rib over the body and secure. Tie in
the wing case back over a small portion of the
abdomen. Add in 2 - 3 strands of peacock herl by the
tips and wind forward to form the thorax. Take 3 - 4
pheasant tail fibres and secure in place on one side
to form the legs. Repeat for the other side. The legs
should extend to the bend of the hook. Pull the
wing case over the thorax and secure in place. Trim the
excess. Add a sparse amount of peacock angel hair for
a beard. Tie in a strand of peacock herl and build the
head. Whip finish.
Note: this pattern is found in Rowley's book "Fly
Patterns for Stillwaters".
