Size 14, 2x long hook. I believe this pattern needs a longer hook

I like the concept, Wayne. How about a small 3x long streamer hook?

There was a recent post with an Oliver Edwards video, in which he tyed a pattern for the Rhyacophila. I think he used a longer hook too.

I watched that video, and one of Davie McPhails. That is what inspired me. The tail on this beast is of Oliver Edwards flair. The rest of the pattern is Mcphail inspirati

Even so, a gave 4 of these (all I had) to a buddy. He did very well Czech nymphing them yesterday.

Its healing ahead of time, but too slow for me. I am on light duty and limted hours at work. The brace stays on for another 3 weeks atleast.

I dont have anything planned this year, and it is killing me.

Three weeks should go quickly, and should give you time to refill your fly box (or your buddies...maybe he can lend you some flies when your knee has healed...humor).

Sorry to hear that your indisposed at the moment. Hope it heals quick. Just a thought about hooks, partridge do a fine long shank nymph hook which is barbless. Just a thought!!
