Hi Flyguys;

 

For a first attempt. it's close to perfect!

 

Maybe use a little less fibers but otherwise I think it's very very good!

Hi Flyguys;

 

Chartreuse and white is my go to color/pattern. I tie a little hank of angel hair on hook shank instead of flashabou and then blend into fibers with a toothbrush. It distributes/blends the angel hair into the fibers and creates a larger but more subtle flash to the fly.

 

Chartreuse & white seems to work better for me than realistic bait fish colors, at least for bass and crappie.

 

As far as tying less material on, just keep halving the amount you tie on and you'll eventually reach the level you want. It only takes a little bit of material to make this pattern.

Looks great! Maybe use a little less materials still.
