Thanks for the comments. Yes - raffia / swiss-straw for the the bottom flies. Karsten - you too buddy. The shell back for the middle flies is just an olive shell bak stretch. Nothing exotic.

#30 Aphid is fine Dave but I think it should incur a size penalty, as size does matter!!! Half a doz aphids each sounds pretty fair to me buddy I just dropped one... cannot find it now -

It's that time of year again.
