I posted a pic of an accidental creation on abpf, any thoughts appreciated
as to why it might work. Thanks to any replies.


Sometimes fish will try to take my strike indicator while nymph fishing.
Your fly looks infinitely more like a real bug than an orange foam strike
indicator.

Your fly has buggy looking hackle, and peacock herl which is a known fish
attractor. It might not be the greatest fly of all time, but any hook
wrapped with some peacock herl will catch fish, on the surface or
subsurface.
