That's a serious looking fly, thanks! 👍

I think your dubbing looks like Kapok.

Nick thx for showing us this fly, I added a little pink to it so I can see it and a personal modification on the ribbing and it helped me get a finicky 18” Brownie on the Neversink yesterday! A lot of tan Caddis and some takes with them as well, it’s not the Delaware but a dam fine river for wading closer to NJ. Cudo's on the Hendrickson Spinner as well, that’s be helping me a lot. Pls keep showing local fly patterns, that work! Cheers

Well done. Nice fly.

[@dusanivanovic7043]

Hey great tie, just wondering of you use it on stillwater?

[@NickMango]

You mean lakes? If so I haven’t fished a lake in years. When I did, I fished streamers. Back then it was just small buck tails or muddler minnows.

[@davesmith7906]

Do you use a loop knot to help it sit correctly in the film?

[@NickMango]

Hey Dave, nah not on dry flies (I use them on streamers for movement). It’ll orientate the right way though. It really doesn’t have a choice. It’ll soak up water and sink until it hits the wing. Now if that was a stiff hackle, then it would sit high. But that soft one is a sponge. Thanks
