Did you fish it yet? It looks like a nice, buggy fish catcher.
Reminds me a little of the Michigan wiggler.
Bruce,
Haven’t fished it. As you mentioned on the Greys Creeper post, this one would benefit by having the rib tied over the shellback, to improve durability.

Imagine this would be a pretty good callibaetis pattern.
Nice tie!! need to add a few of those to my box
