I'll add more praise for the CDC and Elk.  I vary the thread color and deer/elk hair depending on what I need.  I've also been thinking about adding a trailing shuck.  I just got back from a week at fish camp and a slate wing CDC and Elk was the hot fly (olive thread and gray wing).

In 1935 Preston Jennings wrote the premier book on Trout fly entomology "A book of Trout Flies". This my version of his Stonefly Creeper. Color did not come out right in photo, body is Golden Stonefly dubbing, wing is Wood Duck Flank.

Those are cute for Bass and Pickerel. I'd love to hear more about size and uses as you intended.

Yes, bass is the intention, they are about 2” long.  They work quite well.  The tails move beautifully, just like any game changer.  But the small size helps entice even the more weary bass. Ive not fished pickerel, so I can’t contest to its effectiveness with them.  I’ve caught some trout with them also….

Pickerel hit everything Bass, especially if its wearing a little white here or there. I bet they knock'em dead.
