I like this fly a lot, but I have some questions as to the material used.  I know its foam, sili legs, and cartoon eyes. But what is everything else?... White antron with some flash? brown hackle?

That's what it looks like. It doesn't look like poly yarn, so antron would be the ticket.

Pearl Krystal Flash
White Antron
Olive Hackle, trimmed at the bottom so it lies flat
Orvis sells this in yellow, black and olive, so you'd probably want to change the hackle color to match the foam.

That's where I saw it. In their paper they send out every once in a while.

Orvis used to list the tying materials needed for their flies, along with an option to buy those materials (nice marketing ploy), but they don't seem to list the materials for this one.
