I am relieved to find another that has mixed results with this pattern. For me, it is like the Copper John, or CDC & Elk. Others do well them. My success is limited.

If you are seeing something like this at the store.......



It may be time to start thinking about something like this in your fly box .

That bursting wingcase is the ticket for that pattern. The majority of my wing cases are now Black or Peacock.
