Great body work !
I think you may have put a handle on it in your OP
“ Hardwater Chironomid Emerger”

Just a thought,

Yes, yes, yes……a fishcatcher for sure

Very march brown indeed ! Great looking fly, I like the contrast of the body and hackle.

Great looking fly, I really like muskrat dubbing on softies and wets.

Thanks again !
RonR, I’m still in Oregon.
I’ll try to post some when I have more time.

That’s beautiful work on a small hook ! There’s a lot going there !!

That’s a great tie ! I particularly like the wispiness of hair fibers coming off the body, It’s got PMD all over it.

Very kind of you Ron, thank you for the reassurances.
Great bunch of folks here !

Thanks again fellas ! I wasn’t sure and debated whether I should post anything made of newer materials or different takes (perspectives) of wet/soft hackle flies. I’m new here and don’t want to upset or offend anyone by posting anything that is seen to be outside the intent/vein of the forum. Thanks...

Thanks guys !
