Scott,
I tied up 3 and they do not look as good as your tie and I think that was because I used a warm water rinse instead of the cold, but, I took them to one of my 2 rivers here and gave them a try and here is the results:
Found the water temperature at 51 degrees and air temperature around 59 degrees. The water was pretty clear for this time of year.
I had several takes on the fly that turned into LDR, but, did manage to land 5 rainbows. I think the LDR's were due to the hook size which was a #8. I will tie more up and drop down on the hook size. I feel this is going to be a good pattern and it will catch trout. My pictures are not that good, but, my main goal was to see if the fly would appeal to trout and it does.
As the daylight was getting low, I switched to a black leech and caught another 6 trout. I also caught 5 black perch and one small smallmouth. Overall, it is a great fly pattern and I had a good afternoon on the river

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
