Very very nice Mario! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to knock a few those together for Rhodes next month.

Sounds similar to the combo that I mostly fished on the Mooi. I fished mercury GRHEs or mercury PTNs in tandem with what is basically your jihad with an oversized bead and red wire rib. Interestingly, the majority of my fish were caught on the weighted fly, even when I switched the flies' positions around on the rig. Have you noticed anything similar?

Have used this fly for a while now and it works very well! Have caught Smallmouth Yellowfish, Smallscale Yellowfish and Rainbow Trout on it! Thank for sharing Mario!
