I love that stuff, I’ve been trying to find more. Never thought to ask at Avid. I did at another shop and they looked at me as if I’d 2 heads. There’s a really nice fly, the #9 from a Canadian tier called Deb Parscal who designed it. It is a really good fly for SRCs and used the palmered chenillle lightly wrapped over a tinsel or Mylar body.

Dave,
Avid can order it for you. I think Pacific stocks it, but can’t remember.
I’ve also found it a Sportsmen’s in Federal Way. I like the small size.

Those are sweet, Divad's post a few pages ago inspired me to knock a few out that sort of fall somewhere between his patterns and yours, uglier to be sure but I'm confident they'll work. These have some of that rusty, small, palmered chenille over the dubbing body and under some Partridge and a couple elk hair strands.

Nice - this pattern takes me back to when my friend Glenn and I would sit at our vises; Glenn had property in Ennis and fished the famous river that flows through town. He liked drifting a Bitch Creek Nymph and taught me to tie it. One fall afternoon we took leave from work and drove to an "S" River the other side of Lake Ozette and fished for searuns; I caught a couple on the Bitch Creek. I don't remember how to tie the fly at all and the rubber legs have long since rotted off the ones from back then.

I used to go to "fish camp" every June in upstate New York with a group of older gentlemen. Every year the patriarch world ask me to bring a dozen heavily weighted Montanas and a dozen muddlers for him to hand out to anyone that was having trouble hooking the big browns.
Red thread for the head meant heavily weighted.

Thanks for the reference to the #9 pattern Dave, I searched it and found a good article and SBS on BC Outdoors so took a Crack at some variants. Plan on fishing them tomorrow morning.

Great color! Are those herls from the eye if the peacock feather?

I think they’re called breast feathers, from this patch. I was buying those darn 10 packs for $4 and then managed to find someone with peacocks.
Once I bought what I thought was gold off Etsy, a bunch of patches that were sold as decoration. Turned out the wedding planner glued all the feathers down to felt patches and rendered them useless for tying, doh!
