I choose the materials for this fly very carefully and with great thought as to movement, sink rate, visibility and durability based on my reading of a dozen classic books on fly tying, brook trout life cycles and bench side references.

I'm afraid we're destined to become good friends some day PD. That's funny. Nice fly, too, and the scrap makes it tick

Actually, I found a small clear tube on the floor. I have no idea where it came from but I took it to the bench and tied a fly with it. It’s the only fly I’ve tied in a couple months.  I have no idea what i ended up with but it will catch WW fish. 
 

 

I think it will catch cold water fish too, pretty well actually. I like that fly.

NIce tie!  I think your fly would definitely catch our local brookies, the plastic tube is an interesting idea.
