And it's really, really easy to tie. I like them in dark colors, mainly
black and purple, with a "lateral line" of two strands of krystal flash.



Me, too, but I have also tried making the body two different colors under
the Palmering, to imitate the lighter underbelly of a fish. Sometimes, I
toss in a hint of red beard for gills.

Getting a lighter colored underside, two krystalflash lateral lines, and a
red gill/beard is much more of a logistical challenge than it seems. g
