Fly tying DIY

It’s the Fourth of July and since nothing is more American than taking something perfectly fine and making it more gaudy I tied up some Predators in panfish friendly chartreuse.  I added some bucktail, some red crystal flash and used chenille instead of dubbing.  To complete the bastardization I used some “fire tip” rubber legs.  I’m digging the pattern, and have some more colors in mind.  Also thinking about tying some “micro” predators in #12.
