Doug,
A 9' Heddon with 2F ferrule is a good choice. I fish mine with a Hook and Hackle DT-6F line. A Cortland Peach DT-6 would pretty much be interchangeable. I have also used a Cortland Sylk DT-6. I dream of acquiring a Heddon Model 60, but for now, I'm using a Model 10.
Tight Lines- Ken

Re: Starling Caddis Soft Hackle
Oh boy--so cleanly executed! A few questions: Did you wrap the hackle forward and tie it down behind the bead or wrap it backwards and tie it down behind the hackle? Either way, there is no trace of your thread. Is there a wrap of the clear Powercord over bare hook at the very back of the fly to cre...

Re: Black PT
Roadkill,
I just sent Wayne a PM. It's in my outbox, so appears to have worked for me! Perhaps a moderator can provide some guidance.
Take care- Ken

T-12,
Don't just tease us with your description of the Iso Frenchie; a picture is worth 1000 words!

Re: Green Drake Nymphs (generic)
Wayne,
Nice color combination. Excellent work! Did you use some type of tubing for the abdomen? The natural is really plump and very dark.
Thanks for posting- Ken

Re: Iron Blue
I've tied these 2 but haven't fished them because I live in a trout desert called Oklahoma. I'm sure they would catch fish if I just used them as an attractor during 1 of my trips, but it would be nice to fish them someplace that actually had a hatch of the naturals. From Dave Hughes' book, Wet Flie...

Re: Heavy Hackled Olive & Partridge
Wayne,
Are your partridge feathers dyed olive or are they just picking up an olive
color from the body when you took the photo?
Thanks- Ken
