I started tying them in the fall of last year....while It did catch a few fish on them, It seemed I would catch smaller fish than with other files or lures.

I think what makes this fly so effective is how the material can 'breathe' in the water.....the whole reason i started using the ostrich herl was to enhance this. I haven't even tried the back ones yet, but hope think the will be killer at night.
