Hans,
Nice. I always tied mine with the deer hair on top, but I really like the looks of the distributed/clipped hair.

What’s a serendipity supposed to imitate? A midge pupa hanging in the film?
Hi Steven,
Long time no talk…
The Serendipity is a very generic pattern - multi-purpose as I call it in the video.
Midge larva, midge pupa, caddis pupa, mayfly emerger… or, general food item 
Cheers,

I tend to watch with the sound off!
You fish these in the film or on the bottom?
LOL - perhaps I should add captions 
I fish it either deep, along bottom, or more often in film.
Cheers,

Steven , you don’t know what you are missing…I love the tone and cadance of Hans’ voice:cool:.
