Re: Orange Otter

So reading through that pdf brings up a question in my mind. I really like the Erwin Moth fly it mentions. I could see a flymph style fly tied in this way working well.

Re: Gosling attempt

Thanks guys.
Ron, that definitely could be. I basically just took the recipe for this fly from Hans Weilenmann who did a video of it. I thought I may be able to use it effectively in some ponds I fish.

Re: SOFT~ HACKLE JOURNAL

Does anyone know if there is a way to get back issues of this journal? I know that it is no longer in publication, just wondering how I can maybe read what was printed.

Re: Flymph - Light Fox / Hare’s Cheek

I’m glad you guys like this.
I normally oversize the hackle a bit on my Flymphs because I like the way they look. I think it’s from seeing Bill Shuck’s Isonychia for the first time and the way the hackle is on that fly.
