Tail is marabou, body is tan med. wooly bugger chennile (it has a little flash) back is rabbit, and the beard is a dubbed wool mixed with a copper metallic flash and then combed out. Eyes are bumbells, but they need to be tied under the hook shank or it will ride upside down.

Awww gee thanks.
....but I can't take credit for the pattern,I bought one at Southbow last spring and had real good luck with it.My version is basically the same as the SouthBow original,other than I subbed in the barred zonker strip instead of solid olive,used the Skullhead instead of conehead,and swapped the gill material for what I had on hand.
