This fly is starting to get a bit of a cult following! I think the main reason there is such a hype around it is that no one has published it yet - it is still shrouded in mystery. There is nothing really special about it. If you take Philips CDC Bugger that he just posted and change the chartreuse for gold you have a Goldilocks.
Around the steel no tortur'd worm shall twine, No blood of living insect stain my line;
Let me, less cruel, cast feather'd hook, With pliant rod athwart the pebbled brook,
Silent along the mazy margin stray, And with fur-wrought fly delude the prey
