Bob Reece’s hacklestacker attractor; appears to share genetic code on the front end with the [b]Morrish May Day[/b]. Made a few minor changes to the original, mostly due to availability of materials; doubtful that the fish will care. Here’s the [b]SBS[/b] if you’re interested.

hook - WFC Model 28 #12
thread - MFC 6/0 purple
underbody - holo tinsel purple
abdomen - micro tubing clear
wing - Congo Hair shiner tan
thorax - Prism dubbing purple
head/indicator - packing foam white

Regards,
Scott

Very nice, I would like to try to tie a few, any chance you have a SBS of this pattern.

Love your work.

Had good luck with the purple one so let’s see what else works. Forgot the micro tubing but I doubt it will make any difference (coated the shank with Super Glue before I wrapped the KF).

abdomen - Krystal Flash rootbeer
wing - Congo Hair shiner tan

Great looking fly Scott. Would for sure support a nymph dropper forever. I could probably see it too.
Nice work!
