I've got the Deke Meyer Bass Flies book. There are no pumpkinseed imitations there.
I do remember seeing one in the last two years in Fly Tier. Frokm what I recall, the hook ran though the middle of the fly, and the pumpkinseed's back was made out of white craft fur. The body used the eye of the peacock feather, and the bottom of the circular body was more craft fur and I think they even used some kind of a read or black feather for the pumkinseed's ear. I laughed when I saw this pattern because I would guess the pattern would come apart of the first fish. You may want to consider tying patterns for baby pumpkinseed. They do not have round bodies but, rather are elongate, but have a small trianagle hump on their back and a matching triangle hump on their stomach. This would probably be a lot easier to accomplish and maybe even more effective.
