Hi Don,

Great looking fly! I was wondering if this was more geared toward interior cutties or has it been tried on the sea runners as well?

Thanks for the all the great tying vids I've learned ALOT.

The only thing I do is tie the body and wing LONGER and allow the fly sink slightly with lots of movement. Worked great in Victoria for the sea runs.
