This fly is on a Varivas 1/0 990s. I`ve used a spreader to get the wider profile. I like to try to capture the varied hues in the bait so it has several shades starting with polar mixed with pearl midge flash, then light pink with a bit of pink midge flash, then lilac then a smoke topping( don`t ya just love the names they come up with for these colors).

I believe that Slinger violated Chargaff's Rule with this particular tie He must use equal parts frosty and holo in the future such that the phish atrractant nature of the phley is maximized :whoa:
Varivas isn`t making hooks any longer and I can`t get anymore. Actually there is one place that still has them but I don`t trhink he`s a sponsor so.... I`m sure you could substitute any wide gap hook. I`ve started hoarding these hooks, having bought 200 in the last month.

Thanks for the info, Slinger.
As for Varivas not making hooks anymore...
I really prefer them for smaller flies such as epoxy style candies, etc.
