I love it Tooty. I seen one of my biggest flaws was my feathers. The ones I used was 4 time wider than that. Thanks for the video when I figure out what the feather is called and where to get it I'll get some ordered and give it a try. Again Thanks it was vary informational at least for me.

Great video Tooty ! ,Thanks for posting this Leo! Fantastic ant ,the RBS love these in streams I fish .My favorite RBS fly!

HEY DICK THE FEATHERS ARE SMALL SIZE HOFFMAN HACKLE , I GUESS they are called Whiting farms now. Best hackle in the world in my opinion , but not cheap . I bought a whole saddle when I got this one and will last me a lifetime cause I only make a dozen a year of these so if you need some let me know and I'll send some to ya buddy.............

Thanks John and wasn't sure if anyone would like it or not . Very essential fly for Trout Bums , but I've found em deadly in the spring with a fly rod when the gills are making more gills !!!!!!!!! Very subtle entry into the water and just KILLAZZZZZZZZZZZZ
