Re: Pale Watery Dun
Thanks Gentlemen! I appreciate the kudos.
I did enjoy tying on these hooks. They are a bit stouter that the more common up eye models out there.

Pale Watery Dun
Working on a Pale Watery Dun pattern and playing with some Partridge L5A's that Lou gifted me. These are on #16's. Well waxed primrose dubbed with pale red fox in the rear and pink vixen coyote in the thorax. Pale watery hen hackle and tail. The two-toned dubbing goes well here I think. reducedPale ...

Re: Bird's Nest
One of my favorite wet flies. I’ve never understood why this was designed as a Caddis pattern. I’ve always used it more for mayfly hatches.

Re: Variegated Golden Stone Flymph
Excellent and very creative technique to get what you were after Bill. I've never seen more golden stonefly activity then my days on the Metolius. These should serve you well. Let us know.

Re: Block,silk and a fine wax.
I'm not sure what William uses for his cardstock. I use archival matting board for picture framing. You can buy it in large sheets at most large hobby stores and cut it to size.

Re: New Flymph Hook
I have tried the R50U and the new Partridge, both are a little short in the shank length for me. Still fine hooks for this purpose but I'm just looking for what I prefer.joaniebo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 9:47 am Have you ever tried these? From (http://www.troutandsalmonhooks.com/shop/ )

Re: New Flymph Hook
Carl - When you “tweak” the hook, are you clamping the eye in the jaws of the vise and pressing the hook? It looks like your including a small fraction of the hook shank too. Neat way to adjust the proportions of the shank. Great tip. 👍 yes, I place the hook eye in the vise jaws and push the shank....
