What ever works is a good fly. That fly should be a "Fish Getter." If you have confidence in the fly you're using, that should be all that it takes.

That's different...........I like it!Thumbs Up
That's a neat pattern, Thanks for sharing Joe. Here's another crazy ideal I had when I saw yours with the wire wrap. How about spacing the wire a bit more and opposite wrap/weave a second wire where they cross each other on both sides. It would give it a whole new apperance. Of course they would fish the same if it didn't add to much weight. Just a thought.

nightprowler,
That's an interesting idea. I've always thought however, that one of the purposes of a rib is to present the image of segmentation in a bug. I would fear that wrapping in both directions might diminish that effect. Interesting idea though. Might want to give it a try and see what happens. It may work fine in that it presents a bit more sparkle.
nice stuff guys...gotta try my hand at some.
