Thread - brown
Tail - rust antron
Abdomen - thread
Rib - silver wire
Thorax - muskrat dubbing
Tying Instructions:

- Dub collar of natural gray muskrat with guard hairs.

Comments : We fished as a suspender under large dry such as hopper,
cicada, etc, but try deep nymphing too in any water where baetis are present. Tungsten
helps get the fly down in faster water.
