I can see that as a wonderful stonefly pattern in various colors out here.

Trying some on the straight eyes. It is a little bit different tying off when your used to an up or down eye. Just has a different feel.

Very classy, the waterhen bloa is a beaut.

Thanks Ruard for checking. I will continue to scour my books and the internet for more. I'll post what I come up.

Nice. We have a nice little blowfly type pattern down here "Black Gnat Silver Twist" that I made a varient of: "Black Gnat Blue Twist". I'll post a pic sometime... Would love to see it. We really don't have any "blue" insects or even close resemblances here but that do...

I don't have that one...going to put it one my list.

Thanks gentlemen.

Thanks Ray. I really like the Griffith's 14/0 and use it A LOT. It is nice and fine for the little stuff, and with a little patience you can split it to dub in that style. Very strong for the diameter. Griffith's and Pearsall's is about all I use even for my steelhead flies, unless I'm spinning hair...
