I have great luck with this fly too. I also like it in black with a red head.

Hey Jeff, the recipe is posted with it.Take a strip hang a little over the bend for a tail, Then palmer the stip forward. With each wrap pull the fiber toward the back of the fly. You could use barbell eyes for more weight. I like the bead chain so I don't have to chuck and duck.
