Recipe:
Hook: Mustad R73 (9671 equivalent), 2xl streamer hook. The Tiemco 5262 or other similar hook can be substituted. I most frequently use size 6's and 4's although I have tied versions of this pattern ranging from size 2 to size 10.
Tail: Moose body
Thread (rear half): white 3/0 or A
Flash: purple holographic flashabou,
over tail and cross wrapped up front
Butt: florescent green floss,
use a single strand
Tinsel: oval silver
Body: purple globrite floss
Foam shellback/lip: pink 2mm foam, cut into a tapered piece approx 1" x 3/8" x 3/16"
Flash ball/thorax: Hareline Large Minnow Blue cactus chenielle
Thread (front half): 140 denier black gelspun
Wing: Black Cow Elk, select a patch with as straight hairs as you can find. Too much curvature in the hair makes tying down evenly difficult.
Rear facing visibility post: yellow 2mm foam, cut into a rectangular piece about 3/8" x 3/4". Cut a V into one side.
Front facing visibility post: orange 2mm foam, cut to approximately 3/16" x 1/8" x 7/8"
