Tie in fl green chenille, make 1 or 2 wraps, secure with thread and trim.
Tie in flat silver tinsel and black chenille.
Wrap chenille forward, followed by chenille. Secure chenille at eye of hook and trim.
Wrap tinsel over chenille, secure with thread, and trim.
Tie in 1 black saddle hackle, and make 2 or 3 wraps, secure with thread, and trim.
Wrap thread back slightly, while stroking hackle fibers back.
Tie in white calftail on top as wing. Wing should extend past body.
Trim, whip finish, and head cement.

Some tyers use larger hooks and dyed ostrich herl instead of chenille. The ostrich herl has more life in the current.
Some tyers use different butt colors. The most common variation is the Red Butt Skunk, which uses red chenille for the butt. Of course, another common variation no butt at all, in which case the fly is a plain old Skunk.
