You can tie these in whatever color you like from olive to tan or gray. I have been tying this pattern with a little yellow egg sac made of dubbing. It also doubles as a way to splay the two tail fibers. If you are wondering how I made the tails to curve like a Mayfly I tell you it is easy! Just take a big hackle feather that you would use for a woolly bugger pattern and strip the fibers off leaving the mid rib. It has a natural taper to it and curve! I’m finding I like these better than microfibbets for my mayflies! This method also works well for stone fly antennae! Tight Lines! PM
