A copper-arsed Hare's Lug and Plover:

A couple of new materials for me: I'm digging the Gaelic Supreme "Yorkshire Caddis" hook, which is much like the departed Partridge K2b, I believe, and as much as I like the profile, I'm really sick the Partridge Jardine "living nymph" hook has gone away as well...a little more room to play would have been perfect. Otherwise, I'm also pleased with the Lartargun copper tinsel--a little spendy, but it's really well-behaved.
And a smallish Cinnamon Caddis:

This is tied on a #16 Mustad R50u, with a hen Spruce Grouse neck hackle. (The tag is extra-fine gold wire caught in a bit of Pearsall's floss, then twisted.) FWIW, the Spruce Grouse is one of my favorite skins these days...a really diverse range of feathers from "plover-y" to "hun-y" to "moorgame-y" in mostly useful sizes.
Finally, the one from last night:

It's a variation of Mark L.'s great diving caddis, with a thorax of the skunk underfur that both Narco and Ray are high on. I can see why now: just lovely stuff to work with.
