maybe this isnt helpful, but the way i've always seen them is peacock herl 
bodies with brown hackle palmered over it, a squirrle tail wing, and a head 
of peacock herl.

Hope this helps a little?

Hi, everyone,
  Out of curiousity, DonO, what is the "traditional" Picket-pin pattern?  
I've seen like 2 or 3 variations that all seem to have turkey overwings and 
peacock-hurl-wrapped bodies and/ or [thorax/head] regions, with marabou 
tails.
  Just curious, as I remember the "traditional" working well in Maine 
(Lake Messylansky or something sounding close to that) last july, but the 
one-and-only fly I had been given got clipped by a giant "rock monster" and 
I don't have a copy or ingredient list.
Thanks in advance, and tight lines,
Pete
