It looks to me like a minor variation of a Rat-Faced McDougal.

with the two tone body, and hair wings and tail, along with the dark dun
hackle, it not only is an Irresistable, but a version of the original West
Virginia tie for the pattern.
It was supposed to be a long-floating pattern for Green Drake spinners, as I
recall the story.

That sounds right. I was given this fly at an FFF conclave (I was
tying flies)
by a guy who said his father was the originator, and I think he said
he
was from West Virginia........some people are organized and write
things
down, while some people (me) know better: where the hell would the
paper be two
days later anyway?

once again, I am working from memory, but I think the originator was named
Dan Blanton(?).

follow up.....the actual spelling(I had this wrong) was
Irrisistable, IIRC. Although not grammatically correct, this was how it was
spelled.

was going to write the correction, now that the work-week from hell is over.
You are 100% correct. His son wrote an article in Fly Tyer a couple, three
years back
on the original fly, and method of tying the two-tone
body.
