REE's WEE WET (inspired by Ron Eagle Elk's gas cap)
Hook - Daiichi Model 1710/2XL Nymph Hook (Size 12 & 14)
Thread - 8/0 UNI-Thread (Red)
Hackle - Hungarian Partridge (Natural)
Tail - Five or Six Strands of Pheasant Tail (Bleached Tan)
Abdomen - Hares Cheeks Dubbing (Creamy Tan) - taken from the cheek region near the nose (note scissor point in pics).
Thorax - Wool-Ease Yarn Dubbing (Walnut 127) - yarn chopped up and made into dubbing

Optional Variations - Rib (narrow gold oval metal tinsel)
Alternate Hook - Mustad Model 3906B Nymph Hook (looks closer to the hook shape in the design)

Well done, Ray!! When Vickie was going to have my gas cap cover painted she asked to borrow a wet fly. Since this was a surprise for me, I didn't know why. I handed her a fly that looks almost identical to the fly you dressed, Ray. Really nice.

Here is a Skip Nymph Variation, tyed with some of Jeff's endless spool of orange wool thread as the rib. Looks like a nice March Brown imitation.
