Another Atherton fan. This is going to be fun. Your flies are lovely. I have a small stash of Atherton s orange silk that I use for tying his dry flies. These were tied by him.

Put me down for a Swedish Bibio. When you get to Intruders, I do a variation of April Vokey’s Intruder that is easy to tie, but looks complex and expensive. The Swedish Bibio is actually a series of flies featuring a body made from died hare’s mask with a hot spot. My favorite is as pictured - olive & orange. The Dee is one if my favorite Steelhead flies. I use white 20 lb Dacron backing for the eye. The last is a no name fly I use during the PMD hatches. That pink body is fluorescent and the McKenzie Redsides see it as PMD OLIVE-yellow. This was a happy accident years ago for me, sparked by John Atherton’s Catskill style dry flies. Mike darn. Just checked snd the roster is filled. Keep me in mind if you want a really really old fly tier in a swap.
