mark2olson 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2009 Two variations for "underbody" with Cactus Chenills The flies are well-tied and designed. The pictures are very dramatic! Well done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Hat 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2009 Great caddis imitations George. Very well done. That chenille is bulky yet you squeezed it in the thorax nicely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really like how it doesn't add to much bulkiness to the fly and adds just enough sparkle to grab the fish's attention. I may have to steal that pattern and adapt it to a few of my own patterns..I am sure you won't mind :devil: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubb J B 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2009 Man, I really need to get into wet fly tying and fishing. I get so used to your standard dry/nymph ties I forget there's a whole world of tying and fishing style in "wets"... Cool stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the saltydog 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2009 Those are great softies. I have used the Fish Fuzz Yarn from South Africa for bodies on some soft hackles, I like your idea of the cactus chennile for the thorax. I'll have to give it a try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
