Totally love this pattern. First time ever seeing it. Definitely has the Clouser foundation. I think what I like that is different is the dubbing body showing clearly on the sides, and the staggered Marabou clumps on the bottom. Nice profile. This will slay fresh and salt here in South West Florida. Great instructional skills by the way! And thanks.
I first came upon this pattern a number of years ago on fly anglers on line fly of the week. There’s slight variation on tying it and materials used. Chenille is used instead of dubbing(I feel it’s way more durable) and white portion of deer tail again mor durable than feathers. Also, I use bead chain- cheaper than barbell eyes. As far as colors- Chartreuse has caught many crappie, blue gill and bass for me.
Thanks for the great feedback! The saying around here is that you can use any color as long as it's chartreuse. 😂 Great pattern, whatever variation or color scheme!
Thanks for this tutorial and the materials list with the part #’s! So great!
You are so welcome!

You are so welcome! Thanks for all the positivity! tight lines
Looks nice. I think I'd tie it with olive instead of blue to match the Great Lakes emerald shiners.
Great idea! I'd like to see that.

If it’s not chartreuse not in use. Not white it’s not right. I heard that all the way in Alaska from our halibut guide.
