I had not seen the Rio 2 tone indicator material before but made some slinkies in 2008 after fishing with a friend and Bret Bishop a Teacher (and Guide) from Boise, ID who was on the US Fly Fishing Team.

These are great looking and I will start tying with the Gray and Yellow,

Sparkle duns and x-caddis both made me a believer in synthetic shucks added to other patterns.!

Those are all fish catchers, start filling the boxes and hit the water!
