    Looks good!! Can't quite figure out the pattern. Looks like some olive wig hair, white buck tail and a pair of grizzly hackles died pink?? Can you post a quick recipe?

    White marabou palmer'd up a shank , then a ball of polar chenille behind eyes. 6 strands of minnow belly tied on bottom and then 2 more wraps of white marabou behind eyes. Various flash and crystal flash tied on top, Grizzly hackle on each side tied in behind eyes. Olive Icelandic sheep for the wing and olive rabbit in dubbing loop hide cut off and palmer'd around eyes and 2 wraps in front of eyes to create head. Hope that helps, just kind of playing around and came up with it. I would of used Finn raccoon rather than sheep but my dog ate it...lol! Glad you all like it, looks killer in the water!
