    Wow what a great little bug. You make it look so easy! I bet it’d be great as a PMD on a slightly larger Hook. Can’t wait to tie some up and float it down the mighty Mo. Thanks Charlie!!
  • @steelheadize
    can't believe i never thought about cutting that part of the biot off you are the best fly tier on the planet Charlie hands down

    Great tie, as always. Love that pattern and have tied quite a few but definitely gonna try your CDC/tweezer technique to eliminate the middle stem. That’s cool!
  • @Flies_the_limit
    Fantastic tie. Especially in #18. Struggled with this one at 16 for a bit
  • @GeorgeSemel
    I really like this one Charlie; once my dispute with the postal service is settled, I will get the shipment package from you, but no contents; I will re-fill the order and buy even more stuff.

    Great tie! I will need to tie some up! Quick question...do you use any floatant on the hackle of this fly when you fish it?
  • @jdigioia1130
    So, sizes for BWO 16-20, PMD 14-18? Looking forward to tying some up. Thanks for sharing! 🎣

    Charlie...is that X series hook comparable to a TMC 100?
