FG...I have the habit of simplifyng (sp?) any pattern I like. Has always worked for me, as with the CJ...I found that red wire, peacock herl collar & a brass bead is a great pattern! Not trying to take away from John's pattern at all, just that it is a quicker tye & produces well for me. I had John as a customer at a shop I worked at in Colo. & spent many days watching him & his nynphing techniques in the Cheeseman Canyon on the S. Platte & the man knew how to fish!!
...just my 2 cents worth!

"..so many fish, so many flies..do I have enough time?"
