Thorax - Herl
Beard - Cock Furnace
Thorax cover - Brown Flexi ?

A tidy nymph Mark.
hackle fibres for tail
stripped peacock herl body,
peacock herl thorax,
badger head hackle,
brown tying silk.
wing case?

If I'm virtually right, i'll just have the virtual whip and leave the wallnut for some else.

Some interesting guesses there, right so far are hackle fibres for the tail, furnace hen hackle for the hackle and peacock herl for the thorax but body and thorax cover have still not been guessed correctly.....cream eggs all mine yumyum

Ok I'll give yas a clue, you must think more chocolatey......

Nice one Tupps, how did you know I'd been to Africa (Kenya safari 1982) my god the rhino tail hair, very clever.......but its wrong.......sorry, very imaginative though, but no curly wurly.

Oh sorry did you mean curly wurly, no its not that either, too bulky, tried it last week, tastes good though.
