Fantastic thanks guys that's the one, being in the Uk I haven't seen this pattern before but I think it will do well, thanks again

Anyone any idea how To tie this pattern, I got it in some second hand flies I bought, it is the body pattern I cannot figure out as the chenille is interwoven quite differently to what I have seen before.

Thanks folks, I am UK based but these comments have given me some ideas, I am also in USA in September and we always go to Walmart!

Anyone know of a cheap domestic substitute for very fine chrome/ silver wire for tying ribs on midge type patterns, I know you can get fine copper wire from electrical items but I would like a silver substitute if possible

Thanks for replies, I think you are probably right with too much material in this case maybe the marabou, so I will try some lesser versions

I made a trout lure which is basically size 10 hook, marabou, chenille body with dumbbell eyes and I weighted it by using some lead wire wraps, I made two the same but when I tried them out I noticed that they are both not coming In upright for example they are leaning over to one side and showing more of the chenille from the side if you get what I mean. I realise it must be a weight balance problem but any ideas of how to resolve, I have had this problem before when tying vivas
