Really liked how you cut the tips out "twice" on the CDC to maximize the fibers and get rid of the stem. Cool technique. Thanks.

[@sirmegallot3276]

I tied mine with the cdc as the underwing as I feel the natural webbing of the feathers looks more like a wing to the fish. I dont mind tying stimulators the old fashioned way, they are really not much harder than this pattern, just adding a rib, stacking deer hair and an extra feather palmer, but I enjoy trying new patterns and cant wait to see how well they fish and support a nymph dropper compared to the original pattern. All the best!

Nice. I like simple flies that work. I would have probably gone with Stimulator Simulator.

[@sirmegallot3276]

Love that name, you're on to something, tie your own up!

[@MyPancho1]

Just tying up an algorithm nymph to dead drift past the YT sensors. Next I'm casting a highly complementary Comment to disabuse anyone who might think I didn't LOVE this pattern, Thanks

[@johnbarr7018]

Like a stimulator meets x caddis maybe an x stimi idk

[@jamied6854]

I like it. Way easier than a standard stimi. BTW I've been using those same scissors for a couple years

"Safran" is the french spelling, goes great with omelet du fromage

[@joeyjfivelujan5777]

awesome fly! I will tie some up .. question .. what sort of floatant would you primarily use on this guy? powder or paste ? thanks!

[@jeffprice4611]

That would also look cool with a yellow or orange thread or amnesia line rib up the body.

[@DML575]
