That's a great looking fly, so many components crammed into it that its tough to figure out what is what. could you provide a breakdown of the tying steps a bit?

LOL, Yeah, sounds like a lot.

 

first weight the hook with some leadfree wire

tie in the mono ribbing

next tie in the magic shrimp foil followed by the magic stretch cord

Dub your thread with dubbing. wind it up the hook

next wind up your magic stretch cord, first tightly and loosening your tension as you get further up the hook.

next pull over the magic shrimp foil and rib with the mono and tie off.

next tie in your medallion sheeting, cdc and swiss straw.

next make a dubbing loop and twist up your materials and twist it up to the eye. pull over the the medallion sheeting

whip finish and sally hansen the medallion sheeting. put in fly box and fish. lol.

 

thanks comments. has been a great pattern.
