Hook: Scud, size 12
Thread: White for abdomen, brown for remainder of fly.
Body: Orange d-rib, medium.
Rib: Single strand of pearl crystal flash.
Hackle: Natural Indian hen back,
Thorax: Dark brown SLF dubbing.

Very nice John, this should fish well for you.
Nice work in borrowing a friends pattern and using it to influence your own.

Thanks for the kind comments. It does not show up that well in the photo, but the rib adds a nice, subtle flash to the body. I am looking forward to trying to tempt some Lochsa River cutthroats with it.

John your crystal flash really compliments the body. Nice fly.
