This technique of blending schlappen and polar chenille can be used on all sorts of flies to make durable flashy bodies. Tie a few up and go fishing!

I like your version better than Cheech's which I find too bulky.

Barney, thanks for watching! You're right, I wanted to tie this fly with less bulk in the main body. Honestly, if I'm cranking out a bunch of these just to fill up my box I'll sometimes skip the under body entirely. I think it's all about that feather and flash movement.
