Gents,
I thought I would share these two patterns that I had success with on a local tailwater that I fish. Both are tied on a #21 tiemco 102Y. Any comments or suggestions are always welcomed. take care. Otto

Since you asked for suggestions...I suggest you tye up a dozen of each and sent them to me!!! (friendly humor / just kidding)
In all seriousness, they are both beautiful flies. I especially like the plump body on the BWO pattern.

Very fishy! No wonder you've had luck with them. You have inspired me to start tying in smaller sizes.
