First, I want to thank Ray and Doug for the inspiration to tie another Pink Lady variation.
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10908
I think the Kimono silk will work well to sub for the Rayon floss used by Mark.
Hook-Wholesale Fly Company M3 #14
Thread-Kimono Hello Kitty
Rib- SM Silver Ultra Wire
Thorax- a Wrap of Mink dubbing blended with Tri Lobal Nylon
Hackle-Ginger Hen

Lovely Bill. Mark would have enjoyed seeing this.
Now I need to check to see if I have this color Kimono thread.

That's the red-headed stepchild to a Tupps. I like it!

That Hello Kitty Kimono silk sounds a lot like a Kelly Galloup intro to tying video

Wow Bill! I really like this one! What a great variation you have made! I think I'd better get my stuff back out!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

It should be a good attractor in general. If you actually fish waters with pink ladies, it should be a good one to test out with more traditional patterns.
In eastern Oregon I found pink ladies at elevations lower than those indicated here...

It would seem the only population in Colorado happens to be on The Gunnison River. It is a couple hours upstream from where I normally fish.
I had no idea.
