Funny thread!
Those "wasp´s" would work nicely here in Sweden in the autumn.

Not sure with the red tag.... but I could use these as a Bee pattern for local Brown trout at a pinch, many a stomach content exam has led to the discovery of both honey bees and wasps that have been taken by trout.
Further up the country I would be happy to use this fly as is for Rainbow trout.
Great looking flies, well tied and well presented.

HEY, LANCE,
Outside ring, young lady at 3 o'clock. I think I dated her in High School!
Wondered what ever became of her.
I agree, reaaly looking forward to seeing the flies in this swap.

A very creative adaptation, Ray. Flawlessly tied as usual, and great presentation photos.
