Re: Turbinate Eyes
Love the technique Bill. Would definitely be something to play with for cripples and emerged duns in the surface or spinners. I don't think you would see it on actively emerging insects under the surface. But, it would still be a good technique for a hotspot.

Tri-color Rusty
Lance shared some dubbing strands of Pete's with 30% hare, muskrat, and mole mohair. What a great combo. The trifecta of dubbing. They were twisted on primrose silk. Of course I had to use that combo some where. Just an experiment pattern but that dubbing blend is money. reducedTri-color Rusty.jpg

Re: Pink & Partridge Flymph
Thanks for bumping this Bill. Good stuff here.
I'm going to put a couple of these in the box as well.

You are spot on with the name too Bill. Great pattern for that system!

Re: Hook OCD (I definitely have it)
I've noticed the size difference in a couple brands. My Tiemco #12's have grown in size too to where I rarely use them. As I was using a lot of #14, now I'm tying more #16 in many of the hook brands.

Re: George Schlotter's Henwing Emerger
The body was usually yellow or green with a red hackle or grizzly hackle and the hun wing was a white speckled. I would trim the hackle on top so the wing would lay correctly. Usually a #12-#16. You got me wanting to tie some up.

Re: George Schlotter's Henwing Emerger
Thanks for posting this Ray. Many years ago I used to tie a pattern called the Upland Caddis. Very similar finished design but with palmered dry hackle and a hun wing. Can't remember where I found the pattern or who tied it. That was before internet so I know it was in a book or magazine.

Re: Olive Dun Henwing
These are really nice Ray. I'm thinking peacock and starling if the starling would cooperate. I tie a peacock and starling keeping the tip on Glanrose style. It is very effective. I like the movement in the little white spot on the starling feathers.

Re: Oregon? Polly Rosborough?
Polly's home water was the Williamson River which runs into Upper Klamath Lake. Klamath Lake raises large trout. It is very productive and has both Redband Rainbows and genetics of landlocked Steelhead from when they dammed the Klamath River (which they are removing, yeah!). I have fished the Willia...
