Default Klinkhammer

It's springtime and that means blue winged olives! I figured I would tie something a little different. Klinkhammer with a pheasant tail twist. What do you guys think?

Can't wait for ice off now. As for materials the body is olive dyed pheasant tail fibers. Wire is utc gold xs. Dubbing is wapsi life cycle in caddis olive. Post is antron. And the hackle is barred ginger. Tied the same as any other parachute pattern. Hook is a size 16 firehole outdoors 317.
Tie some up let me know how they turn out for you!
