MP's Mad Cow (Dee Wing Spey)

My first hard-core attempt at tying up a nice Dee
wing and it didn't come out too shabby. The fly pictures above though
is VERY overdressed in the hackle department (it involves 4 turns
of unstripped hackles); the next time I tie this I'll strip one
side of the feather off.
I had the color mixtures in my head, wasn't sure
what I was going to use for a wing, and I went totally overboard
on the body. Enjoy (I'm sure some of you could tie this concoction
better than I can!)
