Thanks. Not much to it, never fished or tied one before. Google was my friend.

Sweet!  Being new to fly tying, I don’t know many patterns yet and had to google it. Sure looks much like everything else called the Madam X!  👍🏼

Nice.  Haven't tied one in while.

Tie some up.  Pretty simply, once you get the bullet head down.  Works great for panfish, on top and under the water once it gets saturated.

Not in my repertoire, but I'm looking forward to someone else tying it.

Agreed, Norm. That's why I picked it, I thought it would be a relatively easy tie.
