Scott, cool muskrat nymph variation. Looks like everything.
Ditto on the trimmed palmer.

I would love to fish this one. Nicely tied, Scott.

Nicely tied, I like the clipped body hackle.
I've not used hen hackle for wingless wets only for dries and some streamer patterns.
How does it react when drifted, is there much movement of the fibers?

I try to use the webbiest hackle I can find, which usually means cheaper generic, not genetic capes; lots of movement with that stuff.
