.... but this gal looks somewhat darker in the pic than she did in real life. Whereas the abdomen looks very dark in the photo, it was much more golden olive to brown olive in real life. I think that may be because when I was looking at her the segments of the abdomen were more extended, showing her color more completely. I think the color of your bullethead pattern was very close. A little bigger egg sack, maybe ??

As to size, I didn't think to put in anything for scale, other than my fingers. I think you pretty much nailed the size with the flies you sent to me. I'm going to get back out for some dry fly fishing in the next few days and will go with your bullethead pattern. Maybe I'll get a chance to get a pic of both a natural and your fly together.
