Hartz....really simple pattern.
Streamer Hook #2 - #6
Black Thread
Tail: Tan, Gray, Black Ultra Chenille (leather strips also like stripping a zonker strip of hair)
Brown, Black, Tan close cell foam cut in a strip (thicker the foam the better)
And key ingredient.....MUSKRAT STRIP ( it is water repellent)
Tie in tail, then foam strip. Then add Muskrat and wrap the hook length.
Tie off, then separate hair on top and fold foam over. Tie off, but leave a fair tag. Experiment on the tag. I leave them about a 1/2" to start, then cut back if needed. You can get some really cool effects pulling it through the water:
