Default Female Hendrickson Comparadun


I tied up a half dozen female hendrickson comparaduns last night for use
(hopefully) on the upper delaware. I followed a pattern from a book on
the delaware system (I'm sure you know which one). Here's what I used:

Hook - Dry Fly size 14
Body - Hendrickson Pink Superfine
Tail - Three olive fibbets (split)
Wing - Comparadun Deer Hair
Thread - Olive

I'm taking a look at some patterns online this morning and don't see
anyone else using olive tails and thread. Was this wrong? What should
I use?

Thanks for the help.
