Water Boatman Pattern

Could someone please point me to a good water boatman pattern - (NO backswimmers please - they AIN'T the same thing!). Thanks in advance.

This is the only boatman I could find in our database, don't know if it is a "back swimmer" or not so it might not be what your looking for

There I am looking for corixae patterns, waterboatman, backswimmer what have you, however, not much is forthcoming for patterns. No doubt in the FTF fly pattern data base a good number of samples are stored but other than travelling from page to page (it looks like there are many of them) I havn't seen any way to find what worthwhile creations are hidden there. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Luchs.

Click on one of the pictures of flies at the top of the page. That will take you to the Fly tying patterns page.

 

Across the top of that page, you'll see one icon for "search". Click on that.

 

Page down until you get to the "alphabetical listing" and then look for the boatman tag.

 

Click that and it will take you to all the boatman patterns listed.

 

Dron Lee also did a very nice boatman pattern, If I remember correctly, so you can look him up and find his patterns.

 

Good luck.
