Killer Bug
Frank Sawyer Originator
Hook - Mustad 33399, 3906 or equivalent
Thread - Copper wire
Body - Chadwick 477 yarn*
*Chadwick 477 is as scarce as a unicorn but can sometimes be found on Ebay for outrageous prices $$$
An acceptable alternative is Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine Yarn - 1214 Steel Cut Oats which is what I used but this seems to also have been discontinued.
However, if you do a Google search for Chadwick 477, you'll find a few acceptable substitutes.

Here is an excellent forum topic on Chadwick 477 Yarn with multiple substitutions
Whichever yarn you choose the fish won't even know the difference.

Go to the Bluegill Bug Shop. They have an excellent Killer Bug Yarn that is offered in about to 20 colors. I've used it for a couple years with excellent results, both in tying and fishing. :)
