The Conclusion & Optimal Design for a New Pattern with a 3D Printed Head

So I tied a third variation of this fly.  This one incorporated craft fur as a back and, in my opinion, is the optimal design.  The action of the fly was a little less than the marabou but also caused it to hold a better profile.  What I really mean is that the marabou made the fly appear more fluffy, which didn't seem very realistic.  The craft fur gave more of a wavy, swimming motion and the profile of the fly looked more lifelike due to a taper that had most of the mass towards the head with a taper towards the tail.  Check out the YouTube video for a visual on what I am attempting to describe.  All that's left now it field testing!
