Frenchy Time

Re: Frenchy Time
Cool, frenchies are certainly effective here in Michigan also, unfortunately rain and snow this weekend have waters running a quite a bit high right now, although it’s probably a good a thing after low water levels last year and this winter, maybe flush some weeds and other crap out.

Re: Frenchy Time
DUBBN those frenchies are BANGERS! I'm not a euro guy and typically tie nymphs with a little more "soul" but I LOVE the frenchie. I tie a variant that's for isonychia and it's phesant I've dyed over black (actually a charcoal gray) with a black rib and a collar made from a claret/olive speckled wool yarn that ray sent me with a claret working thread hot spot behind the bead. Silver or black bead. It's a killer! And btw @letumgo Ray thanks for this wool "thorax" yarn man that stuff is awesome!

T-12,
Don't just tease us with your description of the Iso Frenchie; a picture is worth 1000 words!
Thanks- Ken

Thank you for the compliment. I do tie alot of Frenchy variations.
On another forum a link was posted of Kelly Galloups claim that the Perdigons have no souls. I had to think twice about his comment. I do not think there is a fly pattern that can be considered the threshold for crossing over in to the soulless. I would imagine that boundry is defined by our own convictions.
For me, even my generic midge larva have souls. Just as much as my articulated streamers.
