I'm looking for a pattern or picture of a fly called the Marauder. I've tried to find one in patterns and with "0" results.
Anyone out there have a picture or recipe?

I`m not sure if this is the one you`re after ...

Size 4 hook
Tail - black marabou same length as hook encompassing small amount of purple mylar dubbing strands.
body - burgundy dyed rabbit
hackle - burgundy dyed rabbit guard hairs wrapped in a dubbing loop
eyes - either lead eyes, bead chain or foam tube painted with orange/yellow nail polish and a red dot. I vary the type of eyes depending on depth I fish the fly. I use lead eyes most often.

Ian Forbes gets credit for this one .
