Notes:

I wanted to build a Fly that would float well. So far putting together what I call a Pheasant Tail Red Wasp is working well for Bluegill in South Alabama. This Fly would most likely fall into the Catskill Dry Flies category I would think. These can be tied from a size 6 all the way down to a size 14.
