Awesome! I think I had tied up something similar that may have been a FOTW a year or so ago? Don't recall if I ever fished it, though.
This still looks like something warmwater fish will certainly eat, too...so I tied up 4 tonight...one each in black, rust, olive, and natural. Super-easy to tie...I love it already!!
Thanks for submitting this for FOTW, John!
I tied the ones tonight on a #8 streamer hook, straight eye. Looks about perfect!
I was catching bluegills and bass earlier this summer on a small black fly..I forget now exactly what it was..but it looked like the baby bullheads that were swimming around in schools at the time in one particular pond. This should be a good imitator of those too!
