THREAD	black
TAG	flat silver tinsel
BODY	rear 1/3, yellow floss; front 2/3, black floss
RIB	flat silver tinsel (only on front 2/3)

WING	moose body hair
COMMENTS	I have been tying a few hair wing streamers and I am partial to this little (#6) black and yellow number. It, to my knowledge, is not a recognized pattern but is loosely based both on the green-butt black bear salmon fly and on descriptions of some of my fishing buddies favourite streamers from out in Alberta.
