This pattern can be tied in purple or black. For the purple use a pink chenille head and for the black use an orange chenille head. Tie up a bunch without the egg, wash your hands and go back and add the egg as not to get purple or black dye on the egg. Weighting the fly is an option.
Tie in marabou and flash-a-bou for the tail. Tie in hackle and crystal chenille. Wrap chenille forward, tie off, leaving space for an egg. Palmer the hackle forward and tie off. Wash hands.
Tie in chenille for egg, cross wrap over itself a few times and tie off at the eye of the hook. Whip finish and glue.

THREAD: Ultra Tying Thread, 6/0 color to match body color
