Special Dark Chocolate
Hook - Mustad R50-94840 Size 10
Thread - 70 Denier UNI-Nylon (Black)
Hackle - Hungarian Partridge (dyed brown)
Underbody/Tag - Narrow Metal Tinsel (Gold)
Abdomen - Two strands of Pearsall's Marabou Silk (Brown / No. 17)
Thorax - Hares Ear Dubbing (Brown)

Great tie--I think the silk floss over tinsel is a great idea: normal Pearsall's thread has a way of magnifying the (many ) imperfections in my tinsel underbodies. I do however wish there were a few more color options in floss; for instance, salmonberry thread over gold tinsel wets through to an amazing magenta.

I like this pattern, I'm going to have to try that one out.

I find both of these chocolates of Godiva quality.

Ray, this is a nice tie to represent the rare, but important Ephemerella Cocoatus flies. I've found the best patterns include a mild Ghirardelli tone with nutmeg accents and an aroma that leans toward notes of almond. This looks like it will work out nicely.
