It looks like a high capacity mag for the tactical fly fisherman.

Those look killer. I started tying the $3 Dip with a sparse wing of UV dubbing. Worked really well.

Ron,

My other heavier/flashier variation is the Bead Head Krystal Dip that I picked up about the same time from Kelly Galloup's site.

Love that locker of bugs.
What hook(s) are used on those flies?

Those are superb Bill.

One of my favorites and an absolute killer on the Crooked. I tie mine, no rib and with Clark's Stonefly yarn in a variegated rust color.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Thanks Carl, now you have me combing some AL's Rug Yarn to make some more! ;) :lol:

I never bought Lee's book on tying with poly but watched him tie several times. What size 16's &18's? I will make some for Ron as well, I hope to be over there next week.

Wm, is there a chance you could post a closer in pic of one of your flies? One of us blind guys can't get a good enough look at it and when I enlarge it it's too blurry for me to make out.

thanks,

Bill
