I had a friend ask me to tie him a couple with just a lil more heavy, longer and softer fibers for the tail and he's telling me he's having way better success with them and wanted a couple more. He's convinced the tail is making the difference. Personally I think that's just a confidence issue and me be more focused. Anyhow here's one with the big ass soft tail

One thing I have problems with is what size these bugs are you all tie. They look much bigger on my screen than they are I'm sure. Looks nice.
Only one way to find out! But yeah, they definitely will, let’s get after it in a month.
I’m down for sure.
There even be a window or two sooner than later that will be fishable.
