I just took couple fresh dubbing brushes and some homemade shanks and did a EconoGameChanger.  😛

If this is Kosher the next fly is some kinda articulated streamer.

I can take on the articulated streamer. Probably won't get to it until this weekend, though. 

Cool! Can’t wait to see it!

Good pattern.  First hippie stomper I ever tied on, I had got from @stabgnid in a swap, lost it to a nice bass on the first cast - LoL

Nice fly - looks like a lot of work - what is the length?

From hook eye to tip of rabbit strip is 3.75". As far as articulated streamers go the Nancy P is actually pretty straightforward. The deer hair heads were frustrating for me initially, but I think I could whip these up relatively quickly. I've also done ice dubbed bodies with a dubbing loop, but the dubbing loop does add some time.
