Been loving the One Feather One Thread series on Reddit. @Gene L and @RickZieger those flies look like fish catchers for sure Gotta get me some of these, do they tie in as an assembly or do you go one by one? They as a 6 leg assembly, smaller flies I cut off back 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pop, aka Harry K. Cameron (1894-1973), kept a little black notebook and a stack of index cards with 99 different hand-drawn fly patterns and their recipes. He tied these flies and fished them on the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers west of Colorado Springs, CO. Reference - Instagram Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I tied up these to try again. Little rough around the edges, kinda funky winding the hackle and thread through the beads. I like the way they cast and how they look in the water.
