Did not realize Lawson originated that style. A nice demonstration of how there is nothing new under the sun. Those dubbed bodies are just a bit too high maintenance for me, though. River I fish for this hatch typically takes a long cast and you are often dragging the fly under to extend the drift and the traditional ties are just not buoyant enough. Even a simple Chernobyl Ant, which turned out to be a surprisingly effective pattern for me this year, is often a better choice in the section I fish than any of the traditional patterns I tried.

Of course what I really need is a pattern that flutters in the film as it goes down stream...
