Thank you Bruce. I did use my thumbnail, but didn't get it quite right. Next time. I'll check out the vids you recommended. Prepping the crests to get 'em just right is a problem for me (one of many). -

Lots have come and gone, some ill effects but nothing too bad. I'm gonna tie what I'll be calling the "Moosquirel". It's a concept fly. As in how did I ever conceive of this fly. -

If #12 is still open I'll take that slot. Pattern TBD. -
Can't hold a candle to whats been posted but figured I'd see just how out of practice I am. It's just something I "threw" together. Thanks for getting me off my rusty dusty you all.

I agree with Norm, one challenge thread is good. But you, or anyone, can present your idea as the next challenge fly after you take on a challenge.

@chugbug27 beauty tie my friend

When I get back from my Christmas vacation I think I'll spin up a few of those too. I really like 'em. "What the hell..." I seem to remember a midge that uses the flashabou for a rib. I'll see if I can find it when I get home from work. If it's any help I'm pretty sure it's in Pat Dorsey's Colorado Guide Flys book.

I dug the one that Norm , @flytire , did. Yours too @niveker. I think they're really cool
