Size 18
I threw a little mercury bead on the thorax. This will be my top (closest to the fly rod) fly in a Euro set up. If the fish are still keying on gray midge emergers, or perhaps Baetis, this should be productive.

That's a great looking fly. Looks scruffy as all get out. I'm a fan of the Hebert hen hackle.
