Nice touch, although if I tried that little trick of yours it would guarantee to scare the fish away. Even though purple is my favorite color, it scares the fish down river for me.

These spiders were tied from the hackle tips left from the Brown Drake Nymphs

Very nice work there Mr. Hankinsfly......... I too, save the tips of certain feathers and use them for other flies!

Nice Ray, very nice.....

What’s the purple on top of the abdomen

Neat fly pattern you have there, Johnno. It’s very reminiscent of the Catskill / Pocono style of wet flies.
Cool looking insect too!!

That’s what this place is all about!!

YES!


Very nice there, Mr. DUBBN -

Also: I am a big fan of those glass beads....

As promised, here's a pic the Water Crickets I tied last week. Very nice work, Bob. I noticed you vary your hook weights - this is an important technique which is rarely discussed. When a flymph in the film is the order of the day, I use either Partridge L3A or Daiichi 1480. For just below the surf...

I just want to let you guys know, there is this real neat little invention called a plastic ziplock baggie that you could put your phone in............just sayin!!!!!
