After a little Googling I did a little experimenting. The idea for this one came out of a Yellowstone Flyshop
Hook- 2x long wet/nymph size 14
Thread - Benecchi 12/0, Tobacco
Tail - Pheasant
Abdomen - Gold Mylar
Thorax - Mixture of Hareline Lt. Yellow, Hareline Cream, and SLF Yellow
Collar - Grizzly Hen

Thread - Benecchi 12/0, Tobacco
Tail/Abdomen - Pheasant
Rib - Small Copper Wire
Thorax - Mixture of Hareline Lt. Yellow, Hareline Cream, and SLF Yellow
Collar - Grizzly Hen
I tied one of each, and they are a bit tad around the edges, but what can I say? I still haven't cleaned my garage.

Dang, DUBBN, I may have to make you my official fly pattern research assistant, without pay of course. Those are some good looking flies and any of them would find a place in my fly box.

So, I am still looking at orange/goldy/brown hues?
Nice ties Wayne, great inspiration for swap flies.
