Nice, is that a deer hair tail?  Seems too thin, I can't quite make it out.  Care to elaborate on you design/material choice?  Fished as an emerger?

Softhackle Spundun Carnage Green Drake

The Lemon Ice foam (2mm thick) is closer in color to Eastern Green Drakes I’ve seen than any olive, so I sliced off some 1mm strips; that never creates uniform thickness for me but it works well enough.  

hook - WFC Model 28 #10
thread - Danville 6/0 light olive 
core - 15 lb mono
tail - moose body 
body - 1mm foam lemon ice
wing/thorax - deer hair dyed olive
shoulder - pheasant rump dyed chartreuse (1 Tbs Rit Neon Yellow/1 cup water)

Regards,
Scott

I dislocated my knee last week so instead of fishing I'm tying flies to keep occupied while I heal...😒. At least I'll have an abundance of flies to sacrifice to rocks and trees by the time I can get out on the water again.

Very nice @Toothy.  Today I did well a bit north of you on the Swift with something similar, but not nearly as well tied.

This board has talent. I feel like a kid watching movies for free through a crack in the fence. Don't really have it yet but sure have lots of inspiration.

Thanks @niveker!  I have made plans multiple times to make it up to the Swift but things haven't come together successfully yet... truthfully it's just hard to drive past the Farmington! . Hopefully I can make it up to the Swift soon!
