I don't know if the fly I remember watching Gary tie was called the
Enchanted Prince, at the time he referred to the dubbing technique as
"double magic" because he used a copper wire loop to twist peacock
herl and pheasant tail fibers in the body, both materials that seem
to have a magic attraction to fish. It made a pretty fly, the wire
glowed through the twisted fibers.

Several years ago I learned to tie this fly and then quit tying it
for some odd reason and now can not remember the specifics to the
technique. I know that it is a LaFontaine fly but do not have any
of his videos or books. Is there anyone that could refresh my
memory on how to tie this technique, it would be much appreciated,
a killer trout fly. I have google searched for pattern and steps
but can find nothing but the fly for sale.
Thanks,
