Sounds interesting....could you say it works as well or better than a sparse mickey finn?  I may have to tie up a few.

olive for cutties. Blue for coho. A favourite variation is a tie the body with gold braid.

Yep I chase a lotta cutties all right.
Biggest this year was around 24 inches long.
I have one fly that absolutely slays.

Personally I would never target them with muddlers.
There are much better flies around then that.

And I dunno James. Whenever you want. Coho will be gone though once the next rain hits.
I have some more pics from today  ;D

Thanks.    That first fly looks like a fish catcher to me.   Going to have to find the right kind of peacock feathers.

The 2nd fly is by far the best fly (although I use to use the 1st one as a searching pattern on new rivers, the 2nd one is now).
I was getting a tonne of cutties 18-24 inches on it this year on the island. Coho, Springs and Pinks also liked it a lot.
The little cutties and rainbows also really liked it, pretty much if a fish is around you'll probably catch it on that one.

I believe the feathers are called gold body feathers.
Sold in little bags with around 20 feathers in them.
