Or, mix a little raccoon underfur with red yarn that has been shredded, with a brown soft hackle and you have a nice pellet fly (yes, I've done this :o )!
This makes a nice heathery, reddish-brown mix that trout seem to like.

No no no Tim, that would be Gary LaFontaine's Deep Sparkle Pupa. Round, reddish-brown and landing with a satisfying plop :twisted:
