Thanks for posting this link. It is a very interesting interview that I had not seen before. Charlie Craven has invented many of my favorite patterns. His new Juju emerger has done very well for me this fall.

Here is a link to Charlie's tutorial for the fly. The first few that I tied, I tried to tie the legs the way he shows. Well... Charlie is much better at this technique than I am! All other flies that I have tied, I use two wraps of a soft hackle in the same spot on the fly. It still seems to work very well.
I think this fly has several triggers that work very well together. The juju body, which h a key feature of the Juju Baetis fly, the CDC wing that keeps the fly in the Emerger zone, and the few strands of fluorofiber that add just the right amount of flash. Try it, the fish will like it.

I remember when JCastwell ran Charlie off from FAOL, because Charlie knew more than J! LOL
Had my interest till he dropped the "F" bomb. Although there are few if any places for using such language, a recorded promotional interview certainly shouldn't be one of them.
