really nice... I don't often fish winged wets.. but these I may have to try. Another I have tied and used is Preston Jenning's Stonefly Creeper... pretty similar fly to these.

In my next life I want to come back and be able to tie wings like Norm does.

Seems like a similar idea to the Wood Special and Joe's Smelt.

Let me guess -- it's a Maine pattern?

Good looking in any event.

As mentioned in nfrechet's Idaho link, here is a simple 4X long #8 Sheep Creek Special (Biggs Fly) as found in Marv Taylor's 1979 book FLOAT-TUBES, FLY RODS and other essays.
