Lime Trude (variation)

As much as love stacking calftail, I thought I’d give the new stuff a try; it actually compresses.  Added the peacock thorax for a little more bugginess.

tail - golden pheasant tippets
body - dubbing chartreuse
wing - pronghorn hair white
thorax - peacock herl

 Must be some kind of Photoshop magic.
They all look the same!

You are being pretty kind. I used to think that "Good enough for fish" was " Good enough" but you guys ( and you know who you are) on this web site are a bad influence on me and I'm starting to become a "fly snob". Subtleties that didn't used to bother me are starting to.

I generally have to tie a few extras for my own box to have enough "Good" ones for a swap. I finally had to settle on these twelve so I could get onto the next batch. I'm afraid I've been getting into too many swaps lately.

Thank you mister, I appreciate a good mention.
