Thread: well waxed dun Griffith's 14/O
Rib: tan silk floss
Thorax: mix of black seal/hares ear/brown antron
Hackle: Small tan brahma hen hackle

Great tie. Have you Tenkara guys looked at the Italian Valsesiana patterns. They are similar but more towards a traditional wet fly.

I'll bet Misa loves this one, Carl. It is a wonderful creation.

I missed out, that is a very nice fly, whichever way around the hackle.
I have been meaning to dress some of the Italian Alpines.
