There is an old yellow caddis dry fly originated in Michigan and I had the idea to use the same colors on a Flymph. Tied on a Mustad R50-94842. Nature’s Spirit Fine Natural Dubbing Rainbow Blend in Hopper Yellow spun like a noodle on a Clark Block in Danville 6/0 brown thread. Tail is brown rooster ...

Hen Pheasant makes an excellent March Brown pattern form me.

None of my patterns are as pretty as this one of yours

I really appreciate that Dubbin. You tie some really nice flies, so that means a lot!

Oh I really like the top one. Beautifully done!
Ah yes, I didn't realize the different lighting, haha. oops.
Great fly though!

I’m not sure if I’m entirely happy with this one.

Tied on a Mustad R50U-94842. Dyed brown hare’s poll spun on a Clark block with Pearsall's Gossamer Primrose silk. Tail and hackle are Hen Pheasant.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the comments!

Flymph tied on a Mustad R50U-94842 up-eye hook size 12. Light Fox and Hare’s Cheek spun on a Clark Block in orange silk with ginger hen hackle.

It has been many years since I sat down and tied flymphs or soft hackles, but I have had the inspiration to do it again. After seeing Carl Sanders' setup at Sowbug and then posting about my good friend, Bill Shuck, I'm back to it. Hopefully I can start posting some flies soon, if I can get my photog...

Very cool, I like it as well.

It looks like Mustad has discontinued the R50U-94842.
So I'm wondering if there are any other up eye hooks out there I can use for flymphs?

Thanks,
Paul

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.
