RECIPE:
Hook: Size 8 Daiichi 1750
Thread: Brown 6/0 Uni-thread
Body: Tan or brown horse mane woven with 3 strands of orange embroidery floss. (Embroidery floss has six strands. Separate out three of them for weaving.) When woven in, the floss forms a stripe on the top of the hook shank.
Wing: Two clumps of Elk mane tied in on the sides like pontoons, angled slightly down.
Head: Brown 6/0 Uni-thread
Hackle: High-quality dry brown rooster neck or saddle, wound and clipped on bottom. (The bottom is actually the top of the hook shank because this is an inverted pattern made to skate with the hook point facing up.)
