This has been my primary day time attractor pattern for at least the past 20 years but with either orange floss or chartrause floss body and plain white or natural rubber, light tan, rubber legs in sizes 10 ,12 and 14. Use a synthetic fiber for the post and it will greatly improve the floatability of the fly as calf body hair is heavy and does not float worth a damn. I use Daiichi 1280 2X long Dry fly hook which is a major improvement over the 200R type of hooks.
