I love the progression from yellow to brown. That's just classy.

Witty double pun.
Is the body sequence Mylar, hackle, rib?

Lance,
In my recipes I always list the materials in the order I tie them in.
The thread does not advance more than a couple turns back from the eye. The mylar wrapped to bend ties down rib and tail material along the length of the shank, and then the mylar is wrapped back towards the eye as the second layer. Body hackle is open spiraled to bend, and then rib spiraled to eye.
Cheers,
Hans W

Thanks, Hans.
Easier said than done.
In my humble opinion, this is one of the most interesting of your originals.
Speaking of which, have you thought of separating a page of your originals, to distinguish them from your covers of other's patterns?
Or maybe you have already done this somewhere?
