I will be curious as to how they cast (leader twist?).

They look very similar to a locally-tied pattern we used to keep in the shop. The tail on those was made with plastic (similar to what might be used for a scud back) and the claws were some kind of quill. Those worked and I bet yours will too.

Let me know if it works. I’m thinking this winter I may be spending a little bit of time targeting some carp in our canals. We’ll have to see if it works. Thanks again.

I am going to see how they fish here the next time I get out. I like to hit the surface first, but if I hit some deeper pools I will tie these on. Thank you for the compliments on my tying. They are easier to tie than you think. I am going to be spending some time checking out some creeks to make sure we can make the most of your time out here. Thanks again.

I think your tying skills are really good. Looks like a complicated little pattern. We gonna be fishing these in 2 weeks?

I am interested to see how they work. I should get a chance to see how the fish here shortly. Thanks again.
