Marvelous fly, John! Looks like a very effective fly.

Question - I am not familiar with "lurex". Is it similar to krystal flash or flashabou? How many strands do you use to create the body?

Handsome fly Andrew. Crisply tyed.

Beautiful & delicate. Very nice!

Fantastic conversion, Carl. That little green hot spot has got to be worth a few fish in the net.

Beautiful fly, Carl. I love the look of the raffia body. I don't remember seeing it used as a body material for these flies, but I love the look of it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great hook. I've been planning to pick some up on E-bay one of these days.

Stunning fly! I love the combination of the counter wrapped ribs. They highlight the flawless body beautifully. Gorgeous silk work, cicvara.

Sweet little fly. This would make a nice pattern for sulphers.

Beautiful classics Nick! Thanks for sharing these with us. I hope you take a picture of the finished frame of flies as well.

Damn that is a handsome fly! Those Sawada hooks make a nice framework. The blend of colors is very harmonious.

Question - How do you like working with the Griffith's 14/0? I just started using some Gudebrod 10/0 midge thread (it was recommended to me by Chris Helm) and love working with the stuff.

I had missed this post as well. Lovely little fly Andrew. I'd like to try the and the green/black/dun version you mentioned above.
