Very nice proportioned/trimmed May fly pattern George....just looks 'right'...look forward to tying and trying :) ...totally agree with your comment/tip re: using relatively light tippet strength/diameter for wild fish in smaller rivers...I tend to only use size 12 and 14 long shank barbless hooks with a medium action rod ...easier to cast and seem to get more confident takes, better hookups and holds...thanks for sharing such a special fly with us all
Thanks George, for the tying of your mayfly can you tell us what the amount of colours are in the dubbing mix that you have used on the body, as it can make the difference between getting that take on the fly or the refusal fish have to much time to look at the fly on the Lake's compared to the run on rivers as it goes by it's take or leave it keep the video's coming
Nice, varied color in that dubbing mix. Thanks! Subbed!
Thanks for the sub!

A mix of four colors, ginger,olive, yellow and rust in equal measures.
I think it’s irresistible
Glad you like it.
I really like this pattern. Thank you for sharing it. What type of hackle did you use, please? Anthony
Grizzle dyed olive..
German Shepard under fur?
Indeed, with a mix.
How are the new waders holding up?
Orvis right? Which model again?
So far so good, Orvis Pro ,no leaks to date.
Any fly up this year on the Rivers? Lakes fishing poor enough
Very poor fishing all around.
LESS TALK MORE TYING.
For sure, stay tuned.
You want him to tie two ?
