"Stoned" fly
I was in a swap where we received a material and had to devise a pattern using the material. I received some hemp twine. I unraveled a bit of the twine, cut it up, and used it in a dubbing loop to build the body of this stonefly flymph.

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Re: "Stoned" fly
Thanks all for the comments. I almost always add purple somewhere to my stone fly patterns. One of those "good luck" charms for me.

Re: "Stoned" fly
It's kind of like a Breadcrust fly. I wonder how translucent the hemp gets when it's wet (I wouldn't know myself 
) and how stiff the fibers are. Looks great.
