cicvara, your hemp fly is really nicely done. There are a number of shades of hemp and I like the tone of these a lot, especially with that blended dubbed thorax. Really nicely done. This is a great fly and a really cool post.
For the last swap I fooled around with the hemp cord for a caddis pattern. It didn't turn out as nice as yours, but the links below show where Wayne was able to make it effective and the second link showing what the hemp looks like wet.

Re: hemp&snipe caddis.
I really like these. They certainly should catch fish.
