I caught my first wild brookie on a small Mickey Finn pattern in Carbaugh Run when I was a freshman in college at the PSU Mont Alto campus back in 1985. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

Looks great! I'm a sucker for biot/quill bodies ever since my grandfather taught me how to tie Quill Gordon wet flies.

I always used to use daiichi 1280's for my dry flies because it just gives you an opportunity to build your body to the correct dimensions without trying to squeeze things in and jam the hook eye.
