Swimming Woolly

Fly: Troy Allgood, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Tiemco 5263 bent slightly
Thread: Monocord to match
Tail: Marabou plume
Abdomen: African goat, dubbing, or chenille
Eyes: Gold dumbell
Hackle: Palmered black Whiting bugger hackle

Note: Tying the eyes on the top of the hook and bending the shank allows this fly to ride hook up. It looks a little more lifelike to me, but exactly what life-form, I cannot say.
