At times I like a real fuzzy bug. This one looks great.

No, it was not over thought. Your improvising skills are amazing though.

I too like the Fire Orange threads.

Good work.

Dubbn and 12... those are beauties for sure... I will be (as usual) copying those flies at my tying groups session this evening. Thanks for the inspiration. Unfortunately, I don't have a dun dyed hare's mask but I'll improvise :roll: Ronr, pay no attention to the patterns in my photo. I only used t...

I do have a Dun Hares mask. In the background to the right

When I get home next week, I will throw a couple Guides Choice together, similar to your recipe, and and give them a whirl.

You do good work. The Guides Choice is a staple for me. Especially during late Winter through Spring high water. Size 12 is my most common size.

Very interesting. I wish I had done that. Odds are this will never happen to me again.

Where you using a floating line, or sinking setup? Curious to know more about lake fishing from shore. Sounds like an excellent day fishing. I use floating line. All three species are gathered at the inlet for the spawn. All three are Spring spawners. As the Creeks are flooding, it is nymphing movi...

I was able to access a high mountain lake that is located at about 9,000 feet. I was in search of Arctic Grayling. As is my usual, I was nymphing. I started with a size 16 March Brown Soft hackle, and a light pink egg. The first fish was a White Sucker. It took the pink egg. The next 3 fish were Gra...

I am always impressed that you post more than one fly in your photos. It shows off you skills. Very well done.
