I was playing with a few ideas for the March Brown swap. I threw a few of these together. I didnt submit it. Instead I selected a stand by.

I have some over sized stretch rib that I have no use for. I used it on this pattern. I think I have a use for it now.

How stretchy is the D-rib? I have some, but it is really stiff (hard to stretch).

Phenomenal pattern, by the way. I am interested to hear how it fishes. The slender profile should sink quickly.

What hackle did you use? I love the color.

Ray, let me know if you want 75% of my stash. Including the Purple. I will never use it all. I will throw it in the mail Monday.

Super stretchy, super pliable. D-rib wishes it was this good.

Ray, I used CDL hen.

As far as sinking, I can sink a PFD catered to a 400 lb hoarder, with enough split shot.

Sure. I could use some purple.

I like it. I'm also getting into ribbed bodies like that with D-rib, or anything else I can find. D-Rib does alright.

I think your fly looks great. And I agree with Ray about the hackle.

Tyrell, I split the ribbing with you and Ray. It is in the mail headed out to both of you.

Thanks Wayne. Very much appreciated. I'll try to put it to good use.

Thank you! You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it very much.
