Art Winnie's Michigan hexagenia pattern from the 20's. I beefed up the tail a bit to give it a bit more buoyancy - the original pattern was tied with 3 bucktail fibers.

 

 

hook - TMC 5212 #6

thread - Danville 6/0 black

tail - moose body hair

rear hackle - brown

rib - small tinsel gold

body - Congo Hair gold

front hackle - brown

wing - duck quill segment

 

 

mash barb, start thread, wrap to bend
