Target Species: Trout,
Material List: Hook: #10 Mustad 79580 or similar
Thread: 6/0 Black

Abdomen: Wraps of Peacock Herl back and front, centered by Red Floss

Tying Instructions: The Trude version uses Chartreuse Floss and ribbing of Silver Wire.
I like a few wraps of lead added so the fly fishes just under the surface and can readily be used in faster water.
Presentation Tips: Drift and swing. Add some short, irregular strip action at times.
