Boots Allen has tied a bunch of patterns for us. He's a fly tier, guide, author, and lifelong resident of the Tetons. He fishes the Snake River, the Henry's Fork, and many more in the area but also has deep experience fishing for salt water species in Central America and for Taimen in Mongolia and many other global locales.

Thread: Yellow, orange, green, or red 3/0 flat wax.
Legs: white rubber legs marked with black sharpy
Tail and Body: Mule deer hair from the neck and facial area.
