This fly has a "look" that is convincing.  Beautiful tying, Norm.

That Hawthorne is some kind of special. I keep coming back to look at it and it draws me in. Great work!

Beautiful flies.  The photography is stellar!  Is it the camera or the artist/operator? . . . or perhaps both? 

Regards,

Saw a video on extended body mayflies.

Decided to do a few without tails and hackle to get some practice in.  Did put wings on them.

Chameleon

Hook - Single salmon
Tag - Oval silver tinsel
Rib - Oval silver tinsel
Body - Back wool or floss, on one side a strip of wide, flat silver tinsel
Wing - Black quill segment on one side, yellow quill segment on the other side
Throat - Black hen hackle on one side, yellow on the other

The idea for this fly was hatched in Sweden by Zsigmond Kovacs as a way of showing the fish a light and dark colored fly at the same time. As the fly approaches the fish on the swing, he will see one color of the fly. When the fly passes the fish, it will see a different color of the fly. Hopefully one of the colors will trigger a strike.

M.y first two wonder wing flies. feather barb tail, dubbing body wonder wings from pheasant body feather. hackle.

The left one looks like a delta wing as I did not get them to stand upright.
