Hook - Mustad R73-9671, size 8
Bead - Gold
Thread - Black
Tag - Red uni stretch
Tail - Black squirrel tail
Ribbing - Oval gold tinsel
Body - Olive chenille

When viewed from a fishy perspective it seems to imitate scuds (freshwater shrimp), damsels, stick caddis etc.
Flytiers sure have a way at making things difficult

This pattern has an “ole timer” quality to it! Which I like. What can you tell us about the history?

I am also reminded of the Teeny Nymph pattern (similar profile).
