Great looking fly. But won't they ride upside down, with all the heavy epoxy/UV resin on top of the hook and all the lighter material on the bottom? Tried makeing some once, but couldn't get them to ride like i wanted, so i went back to bodystrech for the backshield. Im sure the fish won't mind, but i just don't like it

Nice ant profile Nick. Is that meant to float? My ants aren't quite as polished as yours and I tie them with a copper wire under body and dubbed over with a center hackle for legs. Generally I drop them under an indicator fly. Tossed under overhanging trees they are the bomb on windy days.

Hard to see in the pic above, but both got hit tipped zonker tails. Red on the barred olive and orange on the black.

Didn't know what to call these but it's that time of year for vegetables from the garden

so I came up with "Green Beans & Corn". Nothing special, matter of fact, it's a bit of

stash cleaning/tying flies for a friend that likes to catch bluegills.
