On the Vise: CDC Golden Stone

Gubna's CDC Golden Stone

This is a variation of a similar fly tied by Charlie Craven.  The above is my first attempt, and I know there are many flaws.  The recipe is as follows:

Hook:    Size 8 stonefly hook

Thread: Hopper Yellow 140

Bead: Gold (prefer tungsten)

Weight: .30 lead free wire

Tail: Pheasant Tail

Abdomen/Thorax/Neck:  Gold dubbing

Collar:  Light dun CDC and brown hackle

Shellback= Pearl tinsel (large)

Segmentation: Black wire (as small as you're comfortable handling)
