Wayne,

Thanks- Ken

It is. I have Green, but for some reason the fish do not like it.

DUBBN,
Thanks for the inspiration!!

Here is a #18 variation for me to test, nothing as elegant as your 22 tie! ;)

i used Yellow Olive thread, S Gold wire, Antron for the shuck and legs, Brown Holo for the wing case coated with Hard As Nails.

John
I tyed them on a size 24, 270 Dai-Riki. Long shanked hook that is misleading on its actual size. In my opinion.
