Wes,
I have a later printing of the first edition of Tom Nixon's book. In
it, the Calcasieu Pigboat was made from heavy black chenille, rubber
legs, and a spinner on the back of the fly tied on an extended piece of
monofilament.
If I ever get my driveway plowed and permission from my wife to get out
of the house, I'll try to make a copy of the 'recipe' and send it to
you. I can also send you a chunk of the chenille he used. It's very
hard to find today.
Somewhere in my collection, I've got an original Calcasieu Pigboat tied
by Tom. If I can find it, I'll include a photo.
In the 2nd edition of Tom's book, he dropped the spinner from the recipe.
af
p.s.: The above is from memory. I'll have to dig the book out to see
how well I remember it.
