Hey Jim, welcome aboard!
I would tie up a 3 1/2" chartreuse/white Clouser on a size 1/0 Eagle Claw 413 hook with small dumbbell eyes so it sinks slowly. Tie the bucktail relatively sparsely and include 4 strands of silver Krystal Flash and 20 strands of pearl Flashabou between the two colors of bucktail and let these flash materials extend just past the tips of the bucktail.
Toss it out to the type of water the kid was fishing with the bobber, let it sink to the level he was fishing, give it two or three 6 - 8" strips, then give it a 4 - 5 second pause. Repeat the stripping/pausing sequence and especially watch for them to hit it on the pause.
Good luck and don't forget the camera!
