Thanks. Put too thick of a tail on the first one. I have caught a lot of fish with this fly.

Wish I could post a photo. I do something extremely well with the Guides Choice.

Wish you could too. Miss seeing your flies.

Nice!
The first one almost looks like it was tied on a swimming nymph hook.

Darrell,
Each pattern you have posted looks fantastic! My pick? The second, darker version! Something about the look of it just smacks of insect goodness!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

Easily adjusted on the stream. I’d fish them both, without hesitation, and expect them to catch trout.

Thumbs up!
