One of those quick-and-dirty afternoon tubes to see how it will come together: the basic idea was to just use orange and black together. The hackle and the wing will make great movement in the water, so I will test this out targeting sea-trout as soon as I get the chance.

Body: Black Floss, Lagartun Varnished French Tinsel
Wing: Silver Fox
I started out with a single red-tag to try out some new silver fox I got the other day, but I ended up with six different UNI-Floss colors.
