Wow what a great little bug. You make it look so easy! I bet it’d be great as a PMD on a slightly larger
Hook. Can’t wait to tie some up and float it down the mighty Mo.
Thanks Charlie!!

[@MrBluegrouse]

Great tie, as always. Love that pattern and have tied quite a few but definitely gonna try your CDC/tweezer technique to eliminate the middle stem. That’s cool!

[@GeorgeSemel]

I really like this one Charlie; once my dispute with the postal service is settled, I will get the shipment package from you, but no contents; I will re-fill the order and buy even more stuff.

Fantastic tie. Especially in #18. Struggled with this one at 16 for a bit

Such a fantastic fly!!!

[@johnbradford6845]

I just knew you would trim that stray hackle fiber!

[@steelheadize]

can't believe i never thought about cutting that part of the biot off you are the best fly tier on the planet Charlie hands down

[@RoryLynott]

Talk about a dandy tie. Nice one.

[@jdigioia1130]

So, sizes for BWO 16-20, PMD 14-18? Looking forward to tying some up. Thanks for sharing! 🎣

[@joemurray4538]

Great tie! I will need to tie some up! Quick question...do you use any floatant on the hackle of this fly when you fish it?

[@Magpieflytying]

Think Cree would make it suck?
❤

[@sjohnson4882]

Nice job on the explanation while tying.

[@joebare844]

Charlie...is that X series hook comparable to a TMC 100?

[@CharliesFlyBox]

Finer wire, longer point but a 100 would totally be appropriate as well
