Hey caddis16, how do you like the z-yarn? Do you use it on shucks and sparkle pupa casings?ย 

Oh, and nice looking flies!

I bought it in place of Z-lon because it was cheaper. Does not seem to be much difference. I use both.

Havenโ€™t done much tying recently but with the river temperature hitting the mid 40โ€™s it was time to dress a few hooks for my striper tins.

Greg what is that lateral line?

Saltwater flashaboo mirage opal. Itโ€™s actually translucent with purple hues (like an American shad) but it photographed as a more solid color purple.
