Hey Scott - I like this one. It would imitate emerging Chironomids quite nicely and as you mentioned, it could be tied in smaller sizes. I will have to experiment with variation on this style at my local lakes.

Cheers,

Rob

Finished the three large flies I will be throwing with my 16 weight. After a summer of no rain and way too many 90+ degree days, the weather is slowly starting to move towards the fall patterns. I look forward to getting back on the water.
