Those lumo beads take me back in time. There used to be a handful of old French dudes up here who only ice fished. All they wanted was big cusk, nothing else. They'd fill an onion bag with a couple cans of cat and/or dog food with holes punched in the top and bottoms, and then in another onion bag, ...

I actually like your variant better than the original. I seem to get some tippet twist with those flies with palmered cock hackle on the body.

I've got a retired science teacher buddy, I think I'm going to hit him up and try and score some picric acid. Having never tried to buy the stuff, would getting ...

I like the fly, but I can't get past the name (it's awesome). It sounds like a remake of 'Thelma and Louise'.

Outstanding ties, Wayne; love the combination.
