Excellent! I tied it with the profile of a Streaking Caddis (Skimming
Caddis) in mind, but experimentation at the kitchen sink showed me
that the foam overwing tends to float at water level, so the body acts
more like a drowned deer fly than a skimmer. Try different things;
letting it dead drift, skimming it, giving it some short 'death throe'
vibrations...I'd be very happy to hear how it works for you.

For sure. I'll be away from my computer for a few days but will post
results when I get back from E. Wash.
