I was thinking the same thing, Mike.
I miss Alan and Small Stream Reflections.
DUBBN, What did you use for the green body?
At first I thought it was tightly corded thread for a ribbed effect but now I'm not so sure...

Re: Still raining......

And yes, it's still raining. The first 12 days of the month and we've already had 5.5" of the stuff. It was pouring down at 5am this morning, too. If it ever lets up I'll go check the rain gauge. The damn lawn still thinks its May! ...irritating; I'm tired of mowing grass! Wait... it gets bett...

Re: Generic Caddis Pupa

I'm liking that, Wayne.
We have a great brown autumn sedge/October caddis hatch here in the next few weeks.
These guys are beasts and the last of our big bugs for the season and can be a size 10-2XL.
The pupa patterns I tie for them are somewhat drab but I just might bling it up a notch.
Well done!

Re: Davy Wotton : Wet Fly Ways :

I just added two books to my library and I have more than a few fishing/tying videos, some of which are...duds.
Out of curiosity, I watched the trailer and some short clips of Wet Fly Ways and decided to order it.
Looking forward to it and thanks for the heads up.

That's funny, Mike
I first thought it looked like the Conover pattern that Bill Shuck tied.
Can't wait to see that in hand Ray!

Re: So ugly

I've been busy the last few days but keep going back to Waynes "ugly". I found a crane larva pattern hanging in a tree along a limestone stream in central Pa. several years ago. It didn't look like much but I stuck it in my box and forgot about it. While on another trip the river was blown...

Re: So ugly

Very nice, Wayne.
Those patterns have saved my butt more than once on blown out systems.

Oh Yeah!
I ordered a prairie chicken skin earlier today and now I can't wait for it to get here.
