Lol, my wife bought me my own a blender a while ago... got tired of eating dubbing

Definitely go to the thrift shop and buy some old pans for dying.

That thing just glows! Very nice.

Nice tie Pat! You should try making the head of the fly with orange thread. I always forget about those orange eyes on the males.

That's a beautiful pattern Hans!

That should have tons of action with it. Nice tie.

Very nice Hans, love the hackle on this one.

This looks great, and it's well tied too. Nice!

You can always get a Hebert Light Tan Dun Hen cape . About as close to the color tan as you can get . Or of course you can always dye a cape tan as per Mark's suggestion. Jim I was going to suggest the same thing. This is one of my favorite colors in hen hackle. It's fantastic for caddis colors.

Very nice!

Yeah, these would be film floaters. To get them down, I would just add split shot to my leader. I don't really worry about what hooks I use most of the time other than for body profile. I chose the TMC 100 for these to get that nice slim body.
