So does it sink pretty slowly with that foam cylinder tied in under the body?

It will sink slowly - sit on its tail with head up - waving the claws in the current.

awesome George, thank you very much, that looks like the ticket for Broken Bow smallies. I am buying some ultra-suede & rug yarn this weekend.

OK, now what did I do with that brown Ultra-Suede sport coat I got to fat for?
I'll bet, too, that if you don't have the cylinder, you can roll your own out of some 3/4" wide strips.

Lookin' good, Sir! Thanks for the recipe

That's a great fly. I have an ultrasuede couch that is quite thankfully the wrong color. Otherwise there would be real problems at my house.

Super cool 'dad.
