Wayne,

Do you call that fly "the not-so-slim shady"?

Thanks- Ken

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

Wow Wayne! Impressive! Size 22......way out of my comfort zone by several sizes! I know, I am a big chicken!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

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.
