You may be in a trout desert but panfish will gobble those like candy! ;)

I love the post Lance, keep them coming.

I've generally tyed these with well waxed crimson, or claret silk (my personal favorite), but never with black thread. The waxed claret gets very dark, but maintains a hint of inner color.

I love seeing the detail in your photos of these old flies. Remarkable how much more detail we can see, compared with the original book prints.

Thank you for sharing Lance. Such a treat.
