tail - yarn sunburst
rib - small wire gold
body - Starburst dubbing gold
body hackle - brown
shoulder - golden pheasant body feather red

First attempt at a larger profiled fly

Nice, I like that second photo.

 Is that an FTD product for the body?

Thank you Sir.  Yes, the body was a dubbing loop of material from FTD.  It's a rather coarse dubbing with rubber leg chunks, flash, and hair.  Very difficult to make a dubbing noodle with, but I've discovered it's wonderful in a spun loop and able to be palmered back.
