Is this it?
The Executioner :
Tail - Golden Pheasant Crest
Butt - Thin flat silver tinsel with an inner butt of red floss (no more than 3 / 4 turns)
Body - Flat silver tinsel
Ribbing - Thin Oval Tinsel
Throat - Black squirrel tied as underwing style
Wing - Black squirrel or goat hair
Head - Red varnish with jungle cock cheeks
I didn't realise it was a Silver Stoat variant, or so it says in Successful Modern Salmon Flies by Mackenzie-Philps. The picture in the book shows the body as oval silver.
