Coffey's CH sparkle minnow

[drews]

Hey guys does anyone know how to do the body on this fly or even exactly what the material is? I have one but can't get it right. I got this in Montana last summer and it crushed the cutties in Yellowstone. I this it would work well here but need help figuring out how to tie it. I've looked on YouTube no luck. Thought I would give this a try. Thanks.

Thanks Shepard.... I had seen that YouTube clip but the way that fly was tied does not accurately reflect the fly I purchased in Montana. The one I have has a pearl underbody and gold (I realize his is simply a different color) but if I were to use the dubbing loop philosophy I would not be able to have one color underbody and another for the back etc. thanks though. Anyone else know of this fly or even perhaps how to find a recepi? Thanks.

- vid made me laugh out loud.

Drews,
If you could you post a photo of the one you have, someone might be able to explain the process/material.

I tie my minnows with a pearl body, I got a thin ribbon type material on a trip to Joann fabrics with my wife. I'm not sure if this is the answer without a picture
