    I don't think the fish will be too happy with it either when you pull them out of the water with it stuck in their mouths. What aren't you happy with? Just me but I'd tie the tail a bit shorter and maybe reverse the direction the hackle is oriented; minor stuff, though. It'll definitely catch fish.

    Regards,

    Trade the hot pink for black nickel, turn the hackle over, and I could catch a fish on that.

    Yeah I wasn't feeling the pink cone head, silver or brass, but that would catch fish as is i bet.

    Oh, there's places where pink, orange, chartreuse cones have worked just fine for me, and I'm a poor streamer fisherman.

    I'd say try it with either a black cone or a silver one, then mix a little krystal flash into the tail. It has the makings of a really great fly.
