What fly is this?

[Rosso]

Hi,

The other day a fellow club member was using a fly. He didn't know the name of it and I have never seen it before, so i am looking for the recipe.

Anyway, its basically a prawn/shrimp pattern and at the barb end of the hook is two strands of flash, with what looks like to be either white kinky fibre or deer hair. There are dumb bell eyes.

The body is, what looks to be golden mylar tubing thats been flattened.

Does this make sense and does anyone know what I am talking about?

Cheers

Rob.

Sounds like it could be a variation on a cave's wobbler.
