That will fish in my river, for sure, at least in a smaller size.

Bob,

This is sized for the Epeorus hatch on my old home waters where I will test it this summer.

Next step will be some 14's and then 16 &18's with a slightly greener hue for PMD's on another river. ;) :)

I like the look of this fly very much. It has given me a few ideas. Thanks for sharing.

I like these very much, nicely tied.

I tie a similar pattern on a #16 using yellow dyed PT for tail and body, and yellow Aunt Lydia's for a thorax. I think I'll steal a your idea and add a few with an opal tinsel body to my box
