looking good Murray.....nothing easy about following a rib through a palmered body...wait until you get to counter wrapping the rib through palmered marabou...LOL I actually enjoy trying to do it

same pattern but two turns of Chartreuse hen

Sorry for the delay

1530 size 6 or 8
Fire Orange Thread
Holo Tinsel
One Turn of king fisher blue hen
Two turns of purple hen

Steelhead softies......quick, easy, and effective

Very cool....I like this a lot....THANK YOU!!!!
I've tried a method of cutting the tip out of the feather and wrapping the feathers around the shank with the thread tension...this method is much more user friendly looking

Ok, so I've been asked to tie several partridge and (insert color here) most on size 16 wet fly hooks. I'm having a huge issue finding adequate hackles for this size. Am I the only one experiencing this?...am I missing hackles somewhere. We're talking about tying 50-100 flies easily. If I needed to ...

Wicked tie right there......i cant envision that fly not working on any trout water on any given day!

really nice set of flies....kudos on a job well done!!!

Is this for the Ontario and Erie tribs?

love that body taper!!!
