I like it!
The silk and dubbing should look great when it's wet with the yellow rib and hook finish. 8-)

I totally agree with Rick, that body when wet will look very translucent.
Well done , Bill

My word Bill. This is a great looking pattern.

I have this one marked to use this Spring and Summer.

That is a very good looking pattern.

I didn't tie it as a PMD but figured I would test it out with my PMD variants. ;) I suspect it may work as one.
My thought was it is buggy and might work well on heavily fished water as something different.
