Awesome– I’ve never fished ‘em that big before… I’ll give it a try– looks like it will make a great lead fly to sink some smaller stuff and move some fish to it
I tie a tiny #16 bh prince nymph with the peacock black ice dub for winter fishing and it’s been stellar

This fly works great out East (N. Georgia) when the water is running high and a little stained. Like they say “Go big or go home”
