It's a 12 but a pretty long hook. Pretty big for a callibaetis but I figured it'll be a good backpacking fly

Only in my backyard seasonal pond
I think they’re too small
This is 1/8” stuff but the fly isn’t that big

Tying these made a disappointingly small dent in my supply.

Threw together something to hold up weight that still looks buggy as hell....the thick foam is lots of fun to work with...
dubbing is kraken dubbing from FTD. super buggy looking stuff with micro legs in it.
Really leaning into the "small" bugs eh?
I've had really good success with this pattern, in Olive, in Central Washington. Heading to the Green River in May, and the guide service said they liked Ginger for streamer colors. So, tied this pattern up in a tannish/ginger/brown. This is more of a sculpin pattern, not sure that is the intended forage to imitate, but I figured what the heck. Homemade dubbing brush for the head.
