Original material
As written in the book:
It boasts neither tag nor tail; the body is of lightish blue pig's wool, rather sparsely dressed; silver tinsel and gold twist black heron's hackle, as long in the fibre or longer than the hook; wings, a large bunch of bronze-coloured peacock herl; round the shoulder over this is tied hackle-wise a ruff of bright orange mohair, which gives a brilliant and unusual look to the fly.
