Hoping the Lockport Drum may find this appealing.

Nice looking fly. What type of dubbing is the head made from? I might have to make myself some of these in brown looks like it would be deadly for carp.

It's polar bear underfur on the front of the fly. has a really nice sheen to it. I've had good success with a very similar pattern in olive for drum. brown should work well too. the body section is done with webby hackle which, along with the marabou and rubber legs, gives it lots of movement in the water. Here's the olive version flyfishingmanitoba.proboards.com/thread/3738/drum-beater

Nice. I used to keep baggies of underfur and other parts of materials that used to find they're way into the trash collection. Though space constraints in an apartment no longer agree with this, nor does the wife.
Question about bead chain eyes. I have no problem finding the small sized eyes. But for medium to large sizes I don't know where to find them - they get used up quick on my bench.

Check out the plumbing section at Canadian Tire, Joel. I think the last med/lg chain I got was from there. iirc it was attached to a bathtub stopper.

I think rona/home hardware sell it in the ropes and chains section by as many feet as you want
