I pulled out some ftd bug back that someone sent me in a swap to attempt something resembling a scud. It turned out ok, I guess, but upon inspection, I told myself.. that bug back would make a cool bug belly.

 

Retro, that gum beatle is niiiiccee!

Flytire ... I don't know if it matters to you, but I wanted you to know that I truly appreciate the skill level displayed in your flies.

I don't comment on them because I am just not into the style of flies you generally tie.

 

Retro ... I agree with Caloosa's comment on your beetle. Sweet!

 

Caloosa ... Um, I'm holding back judgement on that bug back bug bellied bug until you report that you caught something with it !!!

Thanks Flytire, you have posted some amazing streamers this month.

 

However, now you have me interested in the "Forgotten Flies" book. That's not good, since it's not easy to get...
