I remember looking at this pattern in a Roy Patrick's pattern book early on in my move to WA state. I bought his pattern book in about 1974. Didn't have a clue then on how to fish sub-surface flies. My first one was a green carey special. After that I looked to branch out.

Nicely done, Bill. I am not familiar with this pattern, but yours sure looks like it would fish well.

Nice! Scrawny, but pretty, too. Ought to bring some fish to the line.

Looks like an excellent PMD pattern. Deadly looking fly.
Nice multitasking, by the way.
