I have to give credit to my fishing partner Ken for sending me to this fly pattern video...

My #12 above was my first attempt to determine how I was going to dub and use a hackle instead of the CDC used in the original. I also cut back my hackle to one turn instead of 2. This hook is a #14 with a 2.4mm bead and adds the original CDL tail as well.

Next step to tie some 16s.
