Thanks gentlemen for the comments. I really liked the holders for this. great for a dozen or so small flies.
The pattern on the bottom right is Hidy's Stone Fly. Would be a great golden stonefly pattern.

a really nice soft hackle. Did you use a dubbing block flymph style and palmer the hackle afterwards?

HaaHaa. That is funny.
Barry, yes I made the dubbing on a block and then just palmered the body hackle. The pattern didn't call for ribbing. For fishing, I would counterwrap the body hackle with thin gold wire.

Thanks for showing the Stonefly pattern. I want to tie some. lol I was thinking of that pattern or something similar for Perla stoneflies in the Eastern U.S. I Don't know for sure if they're still called Perla. They change names now and then. Beautifully done.
