Dusky Striped Minnow

A customer of mine asked for a imitation of something called a dusky stripped minnow. He sent me a few photos and I tried to copy it with a fly. He was happy with my creation and I wanted to show you all how I tied it. It was a relatively easy fly to tie, but I do believe it came out good and will catch fish for sure.
