Tom I just posted in your Blue Dun Flymph thread a comment regarding the attribute that is most commonly used to define a flymph, as opposed to other wingless-wets, soft-hackles and spiders, is the durable dubbed body, constructed in a way that would allow the underbody (usually the tying silk color) to be visible when wet. As I said in the other post, rigid definitions be damned, I just thought it would be of interest when comparing all the different types of soft-hackles we all enjoy tying and fishing. This is a very elegant pattern, and the biot bodies have worked very well for me.
Okay...this might be one of the nicest fly pics I have ever seen. Not that that is of importance when we're just trying to discuss these flies, but good lord, this is nice. Thanks for taking such an artistic angle with your flies and your pics. Such a pleasure to see.
Eagerly awaiting what comes next,
