I believe it's called a "cruncher". Some of us have been tying flies like this for years without even realising we were been pushing the boundaries of tying technology. When did the "cruncher family" first appear? I hear there was a recent article in T+S extolling their virtues.

i belrive it was invented by Martin Cairncross .the origionall had a peacock herl thorax and a greenwell hackle,quite a subdued but deadly little nymph,i wish i had a fiver for every variation ive seen,the only variation i bother with is one with a hares ear thorax.
cheers Garry
It's a pheasant tail nymph with a wound hackle.
Possibly the least radical fly imaginable.
