REE,
That is the classic spade style pattern. The one I am thinking about is called a Skykomish Sunrise Spade.

Bill,
IMHO there is not a more elegant soft hacked steelhead wet fly to swing for summer steelhead than a Alec Jackson’s Spade flies !

I am looking for a thinner for CELLIRE Varnish no.1 clear (FINE). Due to the new regulations I cannot purchase the recommended Unitit thinner from Veniard’s! Is there a product here that is compatible ? I have the old formula that contains Toluene.
Thanks ,
Lou

Well done Wayne !
Sparsely tied and a nice combination of materials .
