Knights in White Satin? (No, but this IS a Moody Blue)

This semi-forgotten fly from the Federation of Fly Fishers Pattern Encyclopedia is a classic steelhead pattern, but could easily be adaptable to warmwater fish, or even as a streamer for big trout.

Hook: #4-10 salmon
Thread: Black
Rib: Silver oval tinsel
Body: Black floss
Thorax: Blue synthetic dubbing
Hackle? Blue then purple
