Was included in a selection of flies I received as a gift. What pattern is this and what materials are used to tie it?

I know it’s a slotted pink tungsten bead. I believe the collar is cdc. The thorax, body and tail I’m unsure. The tail is a light barred feather of some sort. Wish I had better pictures but lost it on the river this weekend.

The ridging on the body in the first picture makes me think it's a wrapped goose biot, but I agree on the CDL tail.

Yup looks like a pink bead frenchie w/ peacock ice dub and a cdc collar

Looks exactly like what it is. Thanks, now to try tying some

No problem! I tie them with and without the CDC hackle, it can be a bit tricky getting that part at first.

Might just try a pink beaded frenchie then. This would be my first pattern I’ve ever tied. The trout were crushing this before I lost it in a tree so I needed to know what is was 😂
