This fly is universally accepted and just plain catches fish.  I used it last season during the Dark Hendrickson hatches in April.  The trout checked off the hackle tips, which actually made the fly better.  There are quite a few little steps to tying this patterns, but I find myself fishing it more and more.  It's very effective as the main fly of a dry and dropper set up as well.
