Killer Lion 403 and CdL Kebari 1250 - I found this wool/acrylic blend at Jo Ann's. See below.




Killer NZ Wool and Brahma Kebari 1250 - This is a Merino wool blend from New Zealand. Thanks Jeff. The hackle is an edge feather from a dyed dun brahma hen cape




Killer 453 and Honey Dun Kebari 1250 - a special treat from Donald. Thanks. The original Killer Bug is tied with Chadwick's 477. This is Chadwick's 453, just a shade lighter, but a very nice yarn.



Chadwick 453 - wet




This Lion Brand Wool #403 Mushroom.

You've done it again. Elevating simple fishing flies to elegant works of art. There is such beauty in these flies, befitting of the fish you will hunt with them.

I love the yarn you found. It sort of has the natural colors of a hares ear dubbing blend.

Is the Chadwick's yarn the stuff Donald sent? It looks like the perfect size for these flies.

Prospecting at Jo Anne Fabric is usually tedious and unrewarding, but looks like you hit gold this time William.
As for the flies, I only like the first four.
Simple, elegant, and they look like they just crawled out from under a rock.

(good one Lance!)

They look awesome, simply beautiful and I bet practical

Beautiful set William.
All show simplicity that is very well executed. That Chadwick yarn almost gives the same colouring as a product I was testing yesterday...... tying butt flies.... and wet with the darker head looks superb.
You are really getting a handle on this style.

Man, this is a tough crowd. Can't please everybody.

Thanks everyone. I really enjoy this style. Can't wait to try these out. The original Chadwick yarn did come from Donald, which I made note of the first time I tried to post this, then our internet crapped out. Sorry to have missed that in the second attempt.

Well well well....MORE YARN FLIES....my jaw DROPPED when I saw them. Simply OUTSTANDING WORK sir. I adore them. I don't have that store here, but that yarn, and those gorgeous flies you made...especially the top 3...just were KILLER. I think the FISH will go CRAZYYYYY after them.
