That's amazing looking. I need to get some upturned eye hooks, they look so cool. Actually, they look correct as hooks go for flymps.

Hey Pat,
Good looking pattern.
The hook that you tied the Welsumer flymph on is a MARUTO D18 turned up eye dry fly, emerger hook.
All the best ,
Lou

Pat,
I must admit I am not much of a picture taker but I will see what I can dig up.
Also the hook I mentioned above is also called a Daiichi model 1330 turned up eye hook.

Lou

You guys are going to experience some hot weather this week. In my younger days Ispent
a good amount of time in Washington and Oregon and in the summer I use to enjoy the moderate
temps that were prevalent back then. These extreme temps we are experiencing are pretty disturbing.
Stay cool and I hope it passes quickly.

Pat
