Thanks to all - exactly what I was looking for. As for using a pink hackle (I have some) which hackle replaced it? Ronan MacLoughlin wrote: Mike/Larry,   This pattern is an Irish one. It represents what those of you in america call the Green Drake (Ephemera Dancia). The pattern goes as follows............   Hook: Size 8 or 10. Tying Silk: Brown. Rib: Fine Oval Gold tinsel. Tail: 3-4 fibres of cock phesant tail. Body: Hares ear and yellow seals fur mixed in equal parts. Hackle: At shoulder only and tied in half circle shape (fan shape) a med olive cock hackle, a blue dun cock hackle with a lemon-yellow cock hackle wound through.   An excellent pattern for river and lake. The original pattern had a pink hackle that was very difficult to dye.   Cant scan a pic Im afraid. The scanner has packed up and I dont have one tied up to take a pic of.   Hope that will do you,   Slán,   Ronan.     ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun!
