BBBruce77 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2015 Neat SBS as usual. This pattern has got me wondering how this pattern would work with a couple of tweeks. Replacing the tan foam with clear packing foam and using clear and tan antron for the shuck. I'm not aware of what characteristics are active in EP fibers or what they are. The clear packing foam would create a much brighter point of attraction at the head of the fly and the antron attracts air bubbles that trail off behind the fly giving another area of attraction. V cutting the hackle is something that could be done on stream if deemed necessary. This will be a fun one to play with. Thanks Scot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
