Tail - Red hackle barbs over barred teal
Body - yellow and black chenille
Hackle - brownWings - White tipped mallard wing quill ( I substituted a wood duck feather)
I haven't tied on this pattern much less tied the thing. I am looking forward to landing a few 'gills on this pattern. As I receive flies from swaps - I will ues them - post a photo and tell of my success.I can't figure out why I never tied this pattern before.
