What pattern is refered to as the "Okra?"

[scottyb]

I'm getting ready to float the Colorado river and want to tie up a bunch of flys. One of the best patterns the local guides refer to as an okra. If I remember it is a pheasant tail looking fly? Anybody know what I'm talking about and have a good recipe/video?

Thanks

I have no idea, here are a few doing a Google search if that helps:

Thanks! I got that exact same google match already and I *gasp* actually searched this forum before I posted. Those searches were of no help, unfortunately, unless I wanted to make a fish gumbo....

What about calling one of the fly shops in Glenwood Springs/Carbondale/Basalt to see if they know that that fly looks like?
