It reminds me of the Clyde and Tummel style soft hackle patterns.

I was thinking the same thing Ray! Norm, a really cool dressing and a recognizable style for sure!

It really reminds me of Oliver Kite's "Bare Hook Nymph" that had nothing more than a copper wire built up thorax. I've dome a few of Kite's BHNs and also added a little dubbing to the copper thorax.... both wokred well for me the few times I tried them.

Here's video of Oliver Kite tying and fishing his BHN.
