I like the wire. I went out and bought a couple spools of small wire just to try these. Very nicely done W.

Excellent work, William. Those are great variations on a lovely theme, and your rib spacing is spot on to boot.

Nice tying William, just perfect work.

Great comparison of a pattern on different hooks. It is neat to see how the profile changes.

I like the proportions of the 1550 the best. They are all superb.

Thanks everyone. I would have a hard time picking a favorite. As an attractor/suggestive imitation type, I like them all on a whim. But especially the 1550 where I've carefully allowed a bit of black thread to peak through imitating the subtle markings of the abdomins of many clinger nymphs. (smiley)
