I will give em a try when the time comes

On the next batch I will use larger copper wire. The XSmall does not show up well on these larger patterns.

Very nicely done, Wayne. This basic pattern has met with much success during sulphur hatches in the East, and I have no doubt that your fine version will be successful on the PMD emergers in your Colorado waters. If Eric fishes it, you know it must be good. BTW, your choice of specked hen for hackle was inspired.

A flashy pattern variation for an emerger that has worked well for me...
