Some flies from today, scud/czech, a stonefly with which I'm still not happy with the biots and my hopper pattern and some trout cracks.

Hey guys, nice work. Okay...a friend asked if I could do something with Chen's Creature froglegs. So we cooked up some ideas today and the flies went swimmin.' The small deerhair fly got the honors with LMB up to 4 lbs [no, I didn't keep 'em, I just grew up thinking in terms of pounds not inches]. Surprisingly, the floating minnow did next best. Had one leg tail-wrap only twice all afternoon. So, these seem to work. I was concerned the amount of material in the froglegs [and their wet weight] might hinder action...they did fine.post-56862-0-75802400-1441243216_thumb.jpgpost-56862-0-51984900-1441243253_thumb.jpgpost-56862-0-21806500-1441243293_thumb.jpg

Wrapping up a buddy's request for something with Cohen's Creatures froglegs. Here's my diver...a little one and a medium size in subdued colors:post-56862-0-80541400-1441331166_thumb.jpgpost-56862-0-68846600-1441331194_thumb.jpgpost-56862-0-10728300-1441331227_thumb.jpg

Size 1 divers and poppers. Much smaller then I typically tie them. The most efficient size is 2/0 or 4/0....these little guys are fun tho.
