It is on it's way.

Tony,
Got a pic? Recipe sounds like it looks like a pheasant-tail nymph with a
few variations.

Subject: Re: [VFB] Tony, Al's Fly???
What I refer to as Al's Fly is really a modified Winter Fly. Al calls it
a Winter Fly B
Here is the way I tie it
Hook: Scud sz 12, 14
Head: Black brass bead size for hook.
Weight: Just enough lead wire to fit in the bead recess
Thread: Black
Tail: Short strands of Pheasant tail
Rib: Fine copper wire
Body: Several fibers of pheasant tail wrapped to the thorax.
Wing Case: Black crow wing fibers
Thorax: Peacock herl
Legs: A couple of soft black hen fibers. I use the ones from the JV hens
Slip bead on the hook, wrap lead wire. Attach black thread, wrap the
shank down the bend a bit
Tie in tail fibers, tie in rib wire and body fibers. Wrap body fibers
to the thorax. Wrap rib, about 4 to 5 turns.
Tie off at thorax, Tie in wing case fibers . Tie in peacock herl and
wrap thorax. Tie in three leg fibers on each side. This can be done by
taking a hen feather and cutting out the tip of the feather leaving a
"V" in the top. Then strip off all the barbs leaving three barbs on each
side where the "V" is. The barbs and the stem now will form a "Y" Tie in
the stem right behind the bead leaving the three barbs on each side of
the thorax. Pull the wing case over the thorax leaving the legs
extended. Tie off the wing case right behind the bead head. Whip finish.
Add some head cement to the wing case and the whip finish.

I apologize my friend, but I have looked everywhere for the recipe you
sent
me on this fly and can not find it. Would it be to much trouble to ask
you
to send it to me again?
