Found this fly here. Gave up on needle-formed bodies a long time ago when I started tying Carnage flies because of headaches with the transfer process; mono core provides a much more substantial base. YMMV.
hook - WFC Model 10 #8
thread - SemperFli 8/0 tan
core - 15lb mono
body - Starburst dubbing tan
underbody/shellback/head - 2mm foam tan
hackle - deer hair (loop dubbed)
indicator - 1mm foam orange
Regards,
Scott

I really like this fly, and I’m also curious what it’s resting on; some kind of stone, maybe?
Thanks, It on an agate from down by John Day as I recall.

Unknown as to why it is named "Orange Wren" when there is no orange in the recipe.
Prom Queen Salmonfly
Hook: Firehole #718, #6
Thread: UTC 140, Burnt Orange
Abdomen: Furled brown and orange (or salmon) acrylic yarn
Wing: Elk Mane
Flash: Polar flash
Body: 2mm brown or light brown foam
Legs: Vinyl or silicon barred legs
Indicator: optional 2mm foam
This particular fly is the creation of Walter Wiese, former head guide of Parks' Fly Shop in Gardiner, MT but now operating Yellowstone Country Fly Fishers out of Livingston, MT. He describes the Prom Queen in his book Yellowstone Country Flies--The Fly Patterns of Parks' Fly Shop. (2013). He named the fly the Prom Queen because "the fly is good looking, popular, and easier than you would think." Works well anywhere large salmon flies are around.
