Here are the different variations I tyed:
Flymph Version: (honeydun hen hackle and tail)
Spider Version: (dun hen hackle)
Tenkara Kebari Version: Tups Killer Kebari(Wayne - this version was tyed with the Coachman Brown Hen you gave me. Thanks.)
Hook - Scud/Emerger Hook (Size 12)
Thread - 8/0 UNI-Thread (Camel)
Hackle - Hen Saddle Hackle (Coachman Brown)
Rib - UTC Wire (Small/Natural Copper)
Abdomen - Chadwicks 477 Yarn Sub (Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine/"Steel Cut Oats"/Color # 1214)
Throrax - Mike Valla Tups Blend (creamy pink wool blend)
Curved Caddis Version: Tups Killer Caddis (coturnix flank hackle)
Hook - Scud/Emerger Hook (Size 12)
Thread - 8/0 UNI-Thread (Camel)
Hackle - Coturnix Flank Feather (creamy tan with bold markings)
Rib - UTC Wire (Small/Natural Copper)
Abdomen - Chadwicks 477 Yarn Sub (Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine/"Steel Cut Oats"/Color # 1214)

Coturnix is also known as Japanese Quail. The hackle feather for this fly comes from the breast region of the skin, near the wing,
The last version is my favorite of the lot. The coturnix hackle (aka - Japanese Quail) has a creamy tan with striking barring. Gorgeous feathers.
All of the flies were tyed with the Chadwicks 477 yarn substitute, Phil (ThirdMeadow) kindly provided. Really nice stuff! I'm afraid I'm hooked on this stuff already. Thanks Phil. You warned me...
