Red Frances
Here's a wee pic of the fly that did it for me last season for anyone that's interested, not the actual one but a fresh one with a few teaks.

This is the ingredients in order of tying.

Kamasan size 12dbl lw (or similar)
Red uni thread 6/0
4 boar bristles dyed hot red
Pearl angel hair
a wee pinch of red bucktail (from the centre where the hairs are a reddish black colour)
Red wool (from the wee craft shop in bonar, think it was sirdar) the wool is made up of three strands, remove one of the strands
Medium Gold oval tinsel
Small silver badger hackle
Veniards clear cellire varnish

Here's another with small eyes made from two sections of maxima mono 20lbs bs
