Thanks, just what I needed.

Wow, that's an old one!  Used to get orders for that in the 80's.
Here's the pattern from the 1979 edition of "Flies of the Northwest".

Dead Chicken

Hook:  6 0r 8
Tail:  Red Hackle or marabou
Body:  Medium or large yellow chenille, thickness depending on hook
size
Rib:  Medium or wide silver tinsel or mylar
Hackle:  About six turns grizzly
Data:  Developed for searun cutthroat trout in salt or tidal water.

Well, I guess you don't have searun cuts where you live, but it's a simple
pattern which doubtless has been adapted to other uses.
