gaeronf 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 That's a great pattern! You could throw on a bright poly wing to make it more visible, if you desire. That'd be a great dry-dropper pattern! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RustyB 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 I fished it last week adn dropped a size 10 zug bug off of it and had no problems with it floating. I used 2MM foam so it floats high. Here it is in yellow and green: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RustyB 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 I've tied these on a TMC 2499 in size 6 or 8. I like the gap between the foam better than the 200R's that I was using. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
