I’ve fished this exact pattern verbatim but via euro nymphing and with a gold bead head, fished in tandem with my mean clipper/hellgrammite or big golden stone dropper. For the stone flies, I like to tie rubber legs on em. And the hellgrammite pattern I just use black marabou tail, woodchuck underfur (sometimes will blend with slf hellgrammite dubbing) and I spin a deer hair head on it and shape the head as such - relatively flat. Leave some straggler butts of deer hair on sides and tear them a little to bug it up, and Velcro brush the shit outta the body. Natural Woodchuck makes terrific dubbing.
Tried it out on the Farmington last week. Worked great. Better than my other sulphur emergers.

Nice fly
Sorry I meant I love your videos! They are excellent! Make more :)
Would costal deer hair work instead of the caribou?
Thank you for great tutorial!
