    Scott I'm away at work so don't have a chance to tie the pattern right now but I was wondering if you have ever used dubbing to fill in the underside of the pattern? All that bare thread just gives me the creeps.

    Good looking fly John. I've never tied with that kind of foam before, or with a furled extended body. I'm intrigued enough to give it a try. Thanks for the encouragement.

    That fly looks killer! I'm going to have to tie up a couple and see if the bluegills like them!

    I've not used dubbing, but that certainly doesn't mean that you shouldn't if that is the way you want to tie it. Make it your own fly and enjoy !!
    The fish are always right.

    I really like the fly John. When you first posted it on the Fly Tying forum I tried it out. I've tyed up several in different colors of antron and foam. My wife's friend is visiting from Portland, OR and she's asked me to show her how to ty it. I think I'll show it at my club meeting tomorrow night if I get the chance. Thanks for the recipe. Jim
    I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim
