Loop-dubbed ungulate bodies & heads make for a floating fly; found them here.  Need to test-drive it to see how it floats; may have to trim the underside flat.

hook - WFC Model 3 #12
thread - Veevus 8/0 tan
body - pronghorn (loop dubbed)
wings - sharptail grouse/resin
collar/head - pronghorn (loop dubbed)

Regards,
Scott

@SBPatt, I fish loop dubbed deer hair hackle caddis. I find if you trim the bottom flat they sit much better on the water.

$.02

First stab at the Gartside soft hackle streamer

size 1, plain shank 2x hook

White maribou

Mallard, Long

Blue Ultra size A

Why blue? Ran out of white.  It will be Crappy season soon and they love Blue and Pink when its pre-spawn. Mostly after the Pickerel that are chasing bait along with the crappy. Critique is encouraged.
