Thread	  :  Black Benicchis Red
Hook      :  Mustad 80000 br  /   94840    10 - 16
Body	  :  Mixture of hares ear and Antronyarn/Sparkle Yarn 
             Over and under: Tie (before you start tying the body)some brushed yarn to the 
	     the back of the hook, and bend it forward (over and under) Do not tie hard,
             it is suposed to be some air between the body and the yarn. 
Wing	   : A few strands of deer hair.

I tie The Sparkle Pupa in many different size`s and colors. I find the brown, olive and yellow ones the best. You can also add some weight, but then I use some hackle as legs and no wing.
