Hook:	(T)  2457 or (M) 3906
Size:	16-18
Thread:	8/0 Black
Body:	Black Ultachenille
Wing:	Mallard Wing Quill
Thorax:	2/3 Muskrat, 1/3 Charcoal Ligas Blend

Notes on tying:

1. Holding ultrachenille between your thumb and index finger lightly singe the end of tail to produce the desired taper with a match or butane lighter.
2. Tie in ultachenille 1/3 back from the eye of the hook and wrap it securely.
3. Tie in mallard wing quill pointing down.  Trim off excess quill.
4. Dub the thorax region with 2/3 muskrat and 1/3 charcoal Ligas blend.
5. Whip finish.
6. Tease out hair for legs.

 This is a pattern Mike Jacobs demonstrated in his fly tying class.  It is also listed in Fly Fisherman March 1992.  Fish it up stream and let it drift back.
