Default Gold Zulu.

This is pretty much the original Gold Zulu. I've changed the fine gold flat tinsel to fine gold oval and added a couple of turns of hen at the head. It was also known as the Red Zulu at one point.

The tying is:-

Thread - Black (I use UTC 70)
Tail - Tuft of Scarlet wool
Body - Bronze Peacock herl.
Rib - Fine flat gold tinsel (I have deviated with oval)
Body hackle - Coch-y-Bonddu cock hackle
Head Hackle - Dark Furnace hen (My addition).

Good little fly Gander.
I tend to tie mine slightly longer in the body though.
