Attachment 8115
After thinking about it I'm in with The University of Tennessee Wulff. Mysister in law teaches there, John R works there, the guide I fish with in theSmokies attended there and I think the East Tennessee trout are worth the trip.

Question: Would a different tying technique qualify as a variant? And what if the pattern only has two materials (three counting thread) total?
I'd like to do a pattern that I have developed that is a cross between a Wooly Bugger and a Chernobyl Ant. I call it (you guessed it....) a Chernobyl Bugger. It only has two materials, takes less than 3 minutes even for a novice to tie, and so far, it has caught bass, panfish and big trout like crazy.
I'll tie a neat one up (all of my prototypes are sort of chewed-up, but they still work) and post the picture, if it's OK for the swap.

Western Coachman Will do 12 with all natural materal and 12 with all synthetic material
but the hackle OK ?

I'd like to change my pattern, if it's OK. After tying a few of these Chernobyl Buggers up, well....they still look like Chernobyl Ants, with no discernible differences. I'll tie up some of my streamer variants....the Fire Tiger Streamer.
