This is an incredible fly. The colors and the whole effect is just very appealing to me.

Hans, Great looking fly. I've been fishing it with and without the tail for a couple of years and it is productive either way, at least for me. YMMV

What Ron said. Tail and tailless for me this year. Hans, perfect example of how a Soft Hackled PT should turn out.
I do well in the fall of the year on a Red variation as well. On a couple specific rivers, and only in the Fall, so I suppose it is considered a specialized /custom pattern.
Hook-3906B, size 16
Thread - Red Utc 70
Tail/Abdomen- Red Pheasant Tail
Rib - Red wire
Thorax - Dubbing from Flytyesr Dungeon, Red Antron
Collar _ Light Dun Hen Hackle
