If you mean the ribbing, absolutely. Ribbing as you no doubt know can be for segmentation, stability of materials, color or flash. I would experiment and see what you get when wet and how durable the pattern is. Best wishes!!! LikeLike Reply
Hey Switters B, What is the material you use as a hackle around? I must say that is a GREAT fly! I feel like I wanna bite it myself! Thank you in advance, Kostis LikeLike Reply
Hello Kostis, It is a Partridge feather, a bit too long. That is a size 16 hook. A small, Starling feather could work as well. SB LikeLike Reply
