Have been a Denny Rickards fan for many years,,. had a lot of success with many of his fly patterns. This pattern in Texas has proven a absolute killer on bluegills; "AP Emergers" (All Purpose) in all color patterns. The slightly weighted soft hackle pattern size #10-12 sinks slowly, drives fish crazy and causes relentless strikes... all taken on Cabela's CGR 6'3" 2wt …. cast... count to 8-10 seconds.... figure 8 retrieve,.... wait for the freight train to hit BAM!!.....these flies were tremendously successful on trout and grayling in Germany, Luxembourg and Czech Republic...

I really like the way those look. I'm a soft hackle junkie. I actually fished this afternoon for a few hours and used only a soft hackle pheasant tail and did very well. Those are some pretty fish you have there!

Big fan of Denny Rickards as well. His stuff has really improved my stillwater fishing game.

I have several of these tied up, and I need to fish them more often.

Really cool, buggy fly.
