Hey Darren! Sorry for the previous comment - the guys who do that bug me (they need to get a life) but I couldn't resist one-upping them LOL!. That was perfect timing - I just sat down with a coffee and the notification popped up. Nice pattern. I need something like this. Was going to type up a couple of Perdigons but they look so naked. Think that these will sink almost as fast as a Perdigon and they look more "insect like" so I'd fish them fish more confidence. Black; brown; olive; tan... maybe a red one for a giggle. Thanks for sharing Darren! Merry Christmas!
Hank, no worries, it made me laugh. :) It'll have a little more action than a perdigon for sure and still sink quick. I was thinking I'd do a couple in claret as well as the black and natural. Let me know how the red works out if you give it a whirl. Merry Christmas.
Ernie, I can't speak to how well this would do under the ice, but I have high confidence that you wouldn't be wasting your time to give it a try. ;) Cheers!
M/C&HNY!!! You mentioned purchasing the bead from hardydeluxe on eBay. How is the quality? Have you purchased anything else from him. Some of his jig hooks look good, and made in Japan as well, always a plus. If you don't feel comfortable weighing in publically send me a P.M. Thanks!
Thank you G Bennik, much appreciated, Cheers, see you in the next one. I've got some hooks from him before and they have all been pretty good. I would say they are top quality, but they are much better than some of the "cheap" hooks on ebay. I have some of the barbless jig hooks he sells but I haven't had a chance to test them on the vise or in the water yet. All the best in 2020!

Nice and simple, just how I like it!
Thanks a million, John Walker. I'm a big fan of simple flies as well. All the best!
Darren very nice pattern as always. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family! Cheers!
Thanks for stopping in, Steve. Cheers and Keep a hook in your vise! All the best in 2020!
Great tie Darren ! Just wondering how that might fish thru the ice jigging , might just have to tie some up and give it a try :)
