Notional tying sequence, came out something like the original with a few changes; swapped out the calftail overwing for synthetic because that stuff is a pain to fold properly and I hate having to judge the length to get it to match the wing properly. Tied in these colors for stupid cutts; change to suit your needs.

 

 

hook - Dai Riki 300 #8

thread - UTC 140 Fluoro Orange

tail - deer hair bleached

rib - x-small wire copper

body - 1mm foam orange

body hackle - grizzly dyed orange (1 Tbs Rit Sunshine Orange/1 cup water; undersize by 2)

wing - deer hair bleached

legs - medium rubber brown

head - 1mm foam orange

overwing - Congo Hair white
