Had a few moments at my vice this afternoon and managed to cobble
a dry fly together using that shrink wrap over Magic Flash again.One of the 1st flies I tied with that plastic film over a dubbing abdomen was a sort of Adams variation on a 2X-Long hook.Thought it had a nice look to it but I think this overall brown with a lighter abdomen looks better....and with polypropylene for wings instead of hackle tips.
