I modified this version with the barbell eyes to get it a little deeper in fast water. See Parakeet, Orange/Black; Parakeet, Pink; Parakeet, Chartreuse/White and Parakeet, Purple for ideas about variations for this fly. I have also tied a Parakeet Tube Fly variation which will soon have its initial field test.
