  • Tail: Brown goose biots tied forked
  • Rib: Gold or copper wire

  • Abdomen: Peacock
  • Thorax: Tan hare's ear with guard hairs
  • Hook: TMC 200R, #6-#12 or Mustad 3906B

    For a weighted version, use fuse wire of appropriate diameter for hook size. In unweighted versions, use yarn to build up abdomen. Mike Wilson suggests a variation tied with a bead head and black rubber legs for the split tail.
