Very nice and simple. Also a kind of scud or even a killer bug-who knows? Good for sure. Yiur demos are very clear and nicely paced. Great tips as well. :-)
Have you used this now as a snail imitation? How has it worked for you? I'm in the western US where we have many snails in our desert reservoirs. Fish are usually gorged with them. I'm still working on finding a pattern that will work. Do you fish these with much movement, or do you just let them hang near the weed beds?
Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to yet. Been looking for a chance but haven't ticked the box for where I'm fishing yet. Most of the patterns I fish here are small 18 nymphs and small dries. That being said the guy I tied them for had some success with them down in the south island around Tekapo which is why I tied them in the first place. He claimed a few big fish with them I believe.
I like the fly because it can be taken for other food sources. If you want to see a great snail pattern look up Gsnail a very good representation of a snail on You tube.
