Re: question on backing.
Okay, MacFly, time for more pictures.
Here is a fly called a "Hot Chocolate" It is tied on a size 12 streamer hook. ![]() I have caught many a fish on this fly from size 24" to the one last year at 34" ![]() And if that isn't good enough for them, fall and winter here require downsizing big time. Here is some size 30's and 32's ![]() And here is one landed on thos Micro's: ![]()

Re: question on backing.
The Hot Chocolate is Verigated Black and Brown Chenille. The tail is Bronze and the hackle is Brown Grizzly Hackle.
If I do weight the fly, it is maybe 5 wraps of .015 Tungsten, but for the most part I don't weight my flies and use different sink rate lines. This way the fly will float slightly if I am using a very fast sink line and I am in the ZONE for the bottom dwellers. I use an Intermediate, Type II, Type III, Type V, Type YII and Depth Charge which is 250 grain, so I can cover all the depths.
