This fly was invented by a guide on the west coast named Ed Ward. The one Mr. Ward ties uses a large salmon hook with the point cut off and a second hook fastened to it. In my opinion using a tube for the fly is much easier and a bit more practical.
Tube: Brass, Copper, Aluminum or Plastic.
Thread: Black
Tag: Oval silver tinsel.
Rear Hackle: Long, soft, black hackle (pheasant rump works well).
Feelers: Nine strands of dyed-orange ostrich plume, on each side of hook shank followed by large dyed orange pheasant rump wound as a hackle.
Body: Burnt-orange chenille
Body Hackle: Long, skinny badger hackle over the body (I usually counter rib this with fine gold wire).
Collar: Small clump of black deer hair spun with the butts trimed flush with the shank followed by large dyed orange pheasant rump wound as a hackle.
Wing: Two cree hackles on each side of the shank
Hackle: Dyed-orange Guinea hackle.
Head: One turn of small black chenille and some lead eyes.
