I was playing with a few ideas for the March Brown swap. I threw a few of these together. I didnt submit it. Instead I selected a stand by.
I have some over sized stretch rib that I have no use for. I used it on this pattern. I think I have a use for it now.

How stretchy is the D-rib? I have some, but it is really stiff (hard to stretch).
Phenomenal pattern, by the way. I am interested to hear how it fishes. The slender profile should sink quickly.
What hackle did you use? I love the color.

Ray, let me know if you want 75% of my stash. Including the Purple. I will never use it all. I will throw it in the mail Monday.
Super stretchy, super pliable. D-rib wishes it was this good.

Ray, I used CDL hen.
As far as sinking, I can sink a PFD catered to a 400 lb hoarder, with enough split shot.

I like it. I'm also getting into ribbed bodies like that with D-rib, or anything else I can find. D-Rib does alright.
I think your fly looks great. And I agree with Ray about the hackle.

Tyrell, I split the ribbing with you and Ray. It is in the mail headed out to both of you.

Thank you! You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it very much.
