Re: PMD
these split case PMD patterns have worked very well for me on the Crooked and Metolius. I'll have to try some of yours DUBBN.

Re: Rhyacophila
Keeping with this theme.. REE suggested that he used small glass beads for the bodies so I took his recommendation.

Split Case PMD Emerger
Recently saw an interesting way to mimic the split wing case on a PMD nymph using yellow thread, or in this case yellow yarn. I'm still working out how I want to tie this in... First attempt as shown is adding the yarn after tying down the PT wing case. Next time, I'm going to add the yarn, fold it ...

Re: Eye candy and more
REE that is quite a catalogue. Can't imagine the cost to produce that dude. My local fly shop can't find a distributor for the stuff, and buying direct from Semperfli must be a hassle. So far, aren't carrying their materials.

Re: Olive Dun Henwing
Excellent tip Ray.. Variant has introduced me to the Glanrose style wings and getting that starling wing to position correctly is the trick. Your SBS's are just terrific, really helps us learners to improve. I had not used the Mitch's bobbin with my Kimono silks. Will be on the vise today. I can be ...

the winter steelhead guys around here all swear by pink... all they need are some steelhead to actually be able to fish.

Re: Moose and Muskrat
Bob... great fly. I use moose mane quite a bit for bodies too. When we meet in Albany, I'd love to chat with you about your photography and posting those photos to the forum.

Re: Generic Soft Hackle - Grey Pearsalls (9A)
I know you are suffering from normal fly tying experience over there in the far east. We'll hold down the fort until you return, and in the meantime, keep visiting those fly shops and get more stuff to teach us. PS... I'm demonstrating your Coachman Variant at the Winter Fly Tying session for the Ce...
