I should follow your example and use peacock as a head.

I use Tan ostrich on some large Partridge Caddis nymphs.

Well-done!

I will not try to persuade anyone to use Sevin Dust. In todays Organic society, it has a bad reputation. Even though, for decades this product was used as a poultry delouser, and used on pets bedding to get rid of the fleas off of Fido. After that regiment, the neck will be placed in a drawer with ...

I received a wild Partridge skin in the mail yesterday. I purchased it from a fellow that runs a wet fly page on FB. I must say he did a fantastic job preserving it. The feathers are in outstanding shape. There was a little crud on the right side of the pelt. It may have been dried blood, but I do n...

Open it up and throw it in your your/bin/drawer/bag. Well, I have 76 plastic tubs, from shoe boxes to big containers made for heavy duvets--plus another 20 or so boxes of vintage flies from the archive project--that's a lot of pest strips, I want to find a balance between the volume of space, and t...

I find the definition of a flymph very interesting as it explains where I went wrong the other day when I posted my ‘Snipe & Spindrift soft hackle’. I can now see where JOANIEBO was coming from with his reference to a wire or thread underbody ‘showing through’. To me, in the UK, a flymph is a r...

It doesn't twist on the A$$ end of a caddis pattern either.

The butt is "Fluorescent 15lb Mono"? I have OPST 30 lb chartreuse mono I bought as a running line and i can't stand it. I guess I could use it as a gazillion caddis butts. :lol: :lol: Thanks, John I know its comical, but this technique put alot of fish in my net the past year. https://i.p...
