Combination of a Chuck, Iris and Clacka Caddis; found it over on Global Flytyer, kinda weird looking. Tied here as a general attractor; change colors to suit your needs.

 

hook - Dai Riki 320 #12

thread - Danville 6/0 black

body - peacock herl

underwing - Congo Hair honey mustard (no kidding)

wing - woodchuck

hackle - brown/grizzly

 

start thread; tie in peacock and wrap to bend

twist peacock around thread and wrap to 2/3 mark

Augh !!! You were doing so well, until you ruined it by mashing the barb !!! rolleyes.gif

 

I like that pattern. As usual, nicely done SBS.

When using hard slippery hair like woodchuck taking one loop of thread around just the wing hair about mid way through lashing it down to the hook,

will secure it quit nicely. With no need for glue.

Probably an indictment of my inability but I've always had better success dosing the tie-down with Sally after trimming the hair butts prior to covering with thread; even works with squirrel tail.
