Upper & lower material is Kraft fur. I like it as it presents a nice profile.

Sweet fly
Since you put this in "CRITIQUE" and put in a penny, I will add my 2 cents.. ::)

I would take about half the white from the bottom and replace about half of the green with it. To give more of a lighter color profile, not so emerald heavy.
But it will fish fine as is.

I would also consider a longer shanked hook if you get short struck often. Otherwise, awesome fly, would be killer on stripers.

carefull on the balance of white and top color not enough bottom hair will make the clouser roll or ride sideways!
