Sharp eye YS... I didn't quite get the blending of the bucktail, marabou and hackles. That will take some time and probabaly some time dying stuff to match the effect of the gold fog over red paint. I'm also thinking of trying to get a more mottled effect on the body, which will make the tail matvching easier. And with the full fly, yes, it's longer. Some where I've got a picture if you want me to post it. How's about I bring you one or two for early spring and we do some field testing.... Tuesday Nights this spring???

Eben, good point about the darting, etc. Maybe modify the lip and use a very erratic retrieve???

The other thing that keeps coming to mind when I look at this is "lobster"... I've heard stories about bass and baby lobster from some diver friends of mine....
