I believe the Larva Lace gets shredded easily (and maybe that's why it may have been discontinued), but it sounded like an integral part of the pattern. Do you find the 2MM foam just as effective?

Thanks.
Yes - the 2mm foam is perfect for the fly. Don't tie the wing super long. It will cause the fly to spiral while casting. I like my to the bend of the hook.
