It is a relatively easy pattern to tie and does not require any exotic materials. Fine oval silver tinsel. Yellow and hot orange bucktail mixed with four strands of silver Krystal Flash. Hot orange over yellow cock hackle, folded and tied in by the tips. Wind both together as collar, then dress back.
Hackle length extends to the barbs of the hook.
This is a long-tailed fly. Don't stack the hair, but even it up some. It should have a slight taper to it. I tie the wing sparse, and prefer Russian squirrel since it's finer, straighter, and doesn't bulk up the head of the fly. I've not tried this yet, but it might be interesting to tie the wing with arctic fox tail.
