Size 10 to 4 hook of about any kind. Appropriate size dumbbell eyes on top (or bead chain). Hot cerise (reddish pink) tail, and body. I have tried a host of combinations successfully so simple hot pink/cerise rabbit strips or the fur from the strips tied in or dubbed with a tail egual to the hook shank works great. You can be fancier but it isn't necessary. It is the colr and retrieve. In a river find a place where the fish are schooled up and handtwist retrieve through them parallel or strip fast next to them and they will take the fly and you won't snag them. In the salt, just strip.
