Hankaye, The mohair yarn I'm using is quite thin so the one strand of it under the other isn't really noticeable. I'm going to do a step by step to post on another site so I will post it here as well. Find a yarn that you like and unwind it down to one strand so you don't get the build up.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. Ray, I built up a small taper of thread to get the shape. The mohair is slippery stuff so you have to keep the taper smooth and not abrupt. I tied on the black at the front of the tag and the yellow (measured about 2-3 wraps of the yarn) in front of the black....

I don't know yet. I actually tied it up hoping the smallmouth would like it. I wanted a couple smaller patterns in my warmwater box. Going on a float after some smallies tomorrow. I'll post an update. I have heard that trout like the bee patterns as well, I have always thought of bee patterns as mor...

Nice job Mark. Makes a great flymph.

Joe - I used the skin. It's going to have much longer fibers than the mask and has the necessary underfur your after for the body. You may get some of the longer fibers around neck edge of the mask, I don't know. The fur on a woodchuck is more course than a hare and has prominent variation in color ...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. I does look a bit unruly when dry, but wet it really goes to work. I bought some woodchuck in various colors a few years ago and have really grown to like it's properties. It has some great natural marking and the tops of the underfur is quite translucent. I t...

This is a pattern I use as a caddis emerger. I tie them large for steelhead and in trout versions like this one.
