Opal Muddler
Got the idea from Grahame Adams Pearly Muddler. Switched out the body (because the opal tinsel was sitting next to the vise) and omitted the bronze mallard (supply is perilously low); highly unlikely the trout will notice or care.

thread - Uni 8/0 black
tail - deer hair
rib - small wire gold
body - medium tinsel opal
hackle - Cree
shoulder - sharptail grouse
wing - golden pheasant body feather red
collar/head - deer hair
Regards,
Scott
