Thank you, kind Sir.

I like those enough to maybe attempt them. I found an old stash of hooks from my tiny fly days. What's the body material?

Funny you mentioned midges. My first thought was bits of fish that had gone through the turbines.

Ray, whatever your day job is, quit. Just stay home and design new flies for us to copy. If you need incentive, I can contribute ten dollars and a roll of Quilted Northern TP a week. Brilliant fly and so well executed with a tutorial anyone could follow. Well done!

Excellent, Karsten. Loved them when I saw them on FB, but now that I see them on the bigger screen, they are stunning. Like Carl, I am drawn to that one with the yellow rib.

Just got off the phone with Jim. Got a couple of those bad boys headed my way. It's no longer a question of need, but want.

Looks fine to me.

Hmm, wonder how that would work on Land Locked Salmon. Only one way to find out.

Ray, here's a couple of flies I tied using this technique. Both are tied on size 6 TMC 200R. Top fly has a body of brown possom with a touch of UV Ice Dun added, ribbed with red wire. Furnace rooster for the thorax hackle and ring neck pheasant rump for the front hackle. The 2d fly has a green possu...

Excellent SBS, as always, Ray. Clear written instructions and excellent photography. I like it so much I stole the idea and used it on some trout spey sorta flies to help the soft, wispy hackle stand out from the body. I'll post a pic when I can.

Welcome, Sir.
