Found this fly on a website this afternoon and tried my hand at tying a couple. Its tied on a 34011 #1 hook.
Tail is brown marabouw/ copper accent
body is hackle over tan yarn
1/32 oz eyes
orange/brown wing with copper accent
tobacco monocord thread

It was listed as a Ropp's redfish magic. Kinda bulky but ought to be easy to cast with an 8wt. Especially after you get it wet.
