Along with a Brahma Hen cape that I purchased last week, I also purchased a new Whiting Hen Cape in Dun. I do like Dun. Brown is still my favorite, but I would hate to give up my Dun if I had to make a choice.
Hook - It was laying on my desk, and I am guessing it is a Mustad 3906B, size 14
Thread - Benecchi 12/0, Olive
Abdomen - Thread base, with clear Midge tubing, and gold wire core.
Thorax - Olive/Brown Dubbing (Wee Folk from Flytyers Dungeon) in a split thread. Thanks Hank
Collar - Dun Hen Hackle

Awesome-looking fly, Wayne. You just keep knocking them out of the park.

Some VERY nice fishy looking patterns there, like the wing buds/cases.
