Sorry for the photo quality, was playing around with some different shots, but wanted to high light the Siman Peacock dubbing and deer hair dubbing for the thorax and out of a few different photos, this one came thru the best.
Thread: Olive
Hook: Dai Riki 270 #14
Tail: Olive Elk
Body: Rusty Olive Emergence dubbing
Hackle: Olive Dry Fly Hackle
Wings: CDC Brown, MFC Wing and Elk
Thorax: Mix of Siman Peacock and Fly DK Dubbin in Olive. Speckled with black marker.
Cheers!

Pearl Magic Shrimp Foil

Get it while supplies last. According to Steve Korbay at Fly Tying Specialties the MS Foil Pearl is going away. And he has some nice stock to fill those orders before it goes. There are some good alternatives to the Magic Shrimp Foil, by a couple of other vendors. Check out the flashback material by Fly DK not quite the same stuff, but a good alternative and the fluoro body stretch.

You can also acquire the Magic Shrimp Foil directly from Siman Ltd for under $4.00 per pack.
