Flies from the vice.

Hans, those spiders are off-the-charts good!!!! I've got to tie a few of those, especially the tailed version.

 

And Claudia, I've been working on FTOTY entries. Can't post the pics. You'll see them soon enough.... :P

Albino Olive

Hook: Kamasan B175 #14

Thread: Benecchi 12/0, olive

Tail: Dyed olive barred pintail barbs

Body: Gudebrod Holoshimmer silk, single strand

Underbody abdomen: Tying thread

Underbody thorax: Butts of tail barbs are wrapped around the shank to shape a slender thorax

Wing: Mallard quill slips

Hackle: Hen hackle, dyed medium olive

 

Note: The body wraps are spaced to show the thread underbody ever so lightly, then start to open slightly more along the thorax area to allow the olive pintail barbs thorax to bleed through some.

 

Cheers,

Hans W

Hans,

 

Very nice, and a very subtle way to get the ribbing. I really like the way your thorax treatment works out.
