Default emerging sedge

The trout at my club loch have been having a bean feast on sedges, in the evening, for the last few weeks.
The place has been heaving with rising trout but my catches have not been that great. Getting around 5 or 6 fish for the couple hours of the rise, but the amount of feeding would lead you to expect a lot more.
Static and skittered sedgehogs have taken a few and all manner of sedge pupa, a fish here and there.
The overall feeling I have had is that the presentation is lacking. After a discussion with my Edinburgh guru, cheers Jimmy, he suggested an emerging pattern in the manner of a bubble sedge.
So I have rattled up this pattern to see if it will work. A bit rough but it is a working prototype.
Long leader, pull the fly under, and let it pop back to the surface with the aid of the CDC.
What do you reckon, I think it will work a treat

Hook . Drennan sedge size 14
Body. It is actually a chadwich wool sub but any beige cord will do.
Under wing, 3 natural CDC plumes.
Over wing. Roe deer.
Dubbings, beige and brown,” Life Style” caddis dubbing

Very interesting, we've had the same Sedge feast on my local water where they were taking emergers (see my earlier emerging sedge post). I'll have to have a go at this, great looking pattern.
