I posted the pictures that I did not only because it is the closest that I have seen to the fly, but also to let you know how very effective the black and white body is. And the pink tail too!
The "skunk" is probably the "if I had only one fly" of steelhead and salmon. The Stayner is also a battleship fly of the freshwater fishies.
It looks like what you have is a simplified version of many flies -- call it what you will.
Tie it as FG said -- pretty much as a woolly worm. --- Use a streamer hook, wrap it with black tying thread. (you might even weight the front of the hook), tie on the pink tail, then tie in a black and a white piece of chennile and wrap them forward together at the same time. Tie it off and you are done.
Let us know how you do.
