Fly question
OK, got this fly from a friend and his request was to see if I can make a few for him? Well, I said sure....I will try my best.

For the most part it seems to be a thinned out wooly but maybe it is called something else??

Any suggestions for material and the actual name?

I agree on the floss, but a stretch floss. Furnace hackle. Again I say it looks like a play on a Salmon Grub

That is like saying a Haresear is like a Muddler, but without the turkey feather and deer hair.CrazyWinkLaughLaughLaughLaugh

This fly is like a lot of others. A bunch of different flies in one, but somewhere someone named it.
