The Micro Zonker strips aren't as micro just as you expected. They are the same ones I used to make some flies for Chile based on the ones you gave me for Patagonia...
Here is one I tied but never used.

The Brookies here in Oregon love shades of Red as well. Royal Coachmen were my go-to flies in the 60's.
