Maggot

Maggot

Hook - Mustad 3906B, size 12-16 

Thread - Black (White thread under the body)

Shell - Dark brown duck quill section over entire body*

Body - Light cream latex**

Hackle - Dark brown as a wet fly collar

Remarks: It is suggested that an under body of white floss or thread be wound forward before the latex; otherwise, the black thread may show through the body.

*I substituted black pheasant tail fibers. Note: This could be eliminated completely if desired

**I substituted cream colored wonder wrap (span flex) for the latex
