    That looks like it could be very effective. I would like to hear report on fishing it. Very interesting. Actually presenting just below the film.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Actually this pattern isn't that new, I have been tying it for two seasons. I must say it drives fish nuts when used at the proper times..(I think its the angle and depth that the fly sits in the film). Im glad you guys like it..

    Its not the easiest process, but I use two vises and stretch a length of poly yarn between them and make like 5 or 6 Umbrella's out of one length of yarn. 35 to 40 mins for 5 or 6 Umbrella's give or take..
