Ive seen this style of fly tied a few times on social media and always thought it looked great. I didn't have the spay hackle though that most tie with but I feel this CDL hackle seemed to work just fine. I ended up trying to make it my own and come up with something somewhat new here. Let me know what you all think.
I plan on trying to take it down to the coast for some redfish soon and see how it fishes. I will keep you all updated on my results. If any of you fish with this pattern before hand then give me a heads up on how it performed for you as well.
