Thanks guys, this was really fun to tie.

 

I tied it after a picture of of troutnut.com, you can get tons of great pics of mayflies, caddis flies, or stoneflies for comparing proportions.

 

tyrite, yes I did make my wings, I have a picture of them before they were tied on, I'll try and get that on here to show you, maybe tomorrow.

Thanks Fred, at one point most of my tying was realistic, I've gone more in the path of atlantic salmon flies lately, though I want to get back to doing some realistic tying.
