Thanks Ron,
That one looks great. I forgot about it. Probably where I got the idea.
Make sure you share your tie.

Mottling?
I've started playing with a new (to me anyway) method of flymph body construction. It has been good for making mottled patterns in the bodies as opposed to a solid mix of colors. Still working on it but here is the basics. Tied with a drop loop rope. I add a small amount of dubbing to the hanging th...

Re: Turbinate Eyes
Love the technique Bill. Would definitely be something to play with for cripples and emerged duns in the surface or spinners. I don't think you would see it on actively emerging insects under the surface. But, it would still be a good technique for a hotspot.

Tri-color Rusty
Lance shared some dubbing strands of Pete's with 30% hare, muskrat, and mole mohair. What a great combo. The trifecta of dubbing. They were twisted on primrose silk. Of course I had to use that combo some where. Just an experiment pattern but that dubbing blend is money. reducedTri-color Rusty.jpg

Re: Pink & Partridge Flymph
Thanks for bumping this Bill. Good stuff here.
I'm going to put a couple of these in the box as well.

You are spot on with the name too Bill. Great pattern for that system!

Re: Hook OCD (I definitely have it)
I've noticed the size difference in a couple brands. My Tiemco #12's have grown in size too to where I rarely use them. As I was using a lot of #14, now I'm tying more #16 in many of the hook brands.

Re: George Schlotter's Henwing Emerger
The body was usually yellow or green with a red hackle or grizzly hackle and the hun wing was a white speckled. I would trim the hackle on top so the wing would lay correctly. Usually a #12-#16. You got me wanting to tie some up.

Re: George Schlotter's Henwing Emerger
Thanks for posting this Ray. Many years ago I used to tie a pattern called the Upland Caddis. Very similar finished design but with palmered dry hackle and a hun wing. Can't remember where I found the pattern or who tied it. That was before internet so I know it was in a book or magazine.

Re: Olive Dun Henwing
These are really nice Ray. I'm thinking peacock and starling if the starling would cooperate. I tie a peacock and starling keeping the tip on Glanrose style. It is very effective. I like the movement in the little white spot on the starling feathers.
