I tie one like this:

Thread - Red
Body - Black pheasant tail
thorax - black peacock herl
rib - fine copper wire
hackle - sooty hen (got it in a job lot and best description i have for it, its a dirty grey colour)
tail - as hackle

was my best fly last season

MOT that colour sounds like a dun colour that metz does

The standard but with a gold cheek. Cracking variation.

Possibly, got a pic? The cape I have certainly isn't genetic. I got it as part of a job lot (20 capes for £20) from the former trade member who shall not be named.
