JD,
The sparkplug is truly an elegant fly that I have been relentlessly tying and fishing ever since you revealed the pattern last week. Using my custom 19' 12/13 Bob Clay cane rod I have found that a pair of jumper cables cut back to 2050 grains with the coating stripped off to reveal a 3' wire leader is an immaculate setup for late February hoko steelies. Although the original color combination has proven to be deadly under most conditions I have found that substituting medium dun for the original chartreuse throat can be very effective once the fish have seen some pressure.
