Thanks FRN, wish I could post more often.  The feather is a skin from my dog's first (and only) hen pheasant . 

For these, the body is a light tan Aunt Lydia's Sparkle Yarn that I hit with a yellow marker, though I think a pale green could work also. I twist it before wrapping to suggest segmentation, then brown hackle, cut short on the top and bottom to keep it low in the water and allow the wing to lay flat.  Kelly Galloup suggests tying in a whole sprig of golden pheasant tippet as an underwing. I liked that idea, but do not keep alot of GP tippet on hand, so I tried orange kip tail instead,  but did not like the way it prevented the over wing from laying flat.   The over wing is varnished, as its easier for me to tie and lay properly that way.

Thanks again!

I don't have a sister, so 3 out of 4 isn't bad.

BRF Spent Caddis (variation)

Liked the fly but thought some legs would liven it up a bit; buggy as sh.t and simple to tie.  Here’s the video if you’re interested.

hook - WFC Model 3 #12
thread - Danville 6/0 olive
body - hare’s ear dyed olive (loop dubbed)
wing - Congo Hair shiner gray
collar - pheasant rump dyed olive
thorax - Zelon dubbing hydropsyche

Regards,
Scott

It looks like an Ausable Wulff to me.

a halibut candy.

Mark, yes, i know. There is bucktail, but you can't have a candy without bucktail.

and yes it could use better lighting.

Didn’t see the tag name originally somehow.  Very nice.

One from a couple weeks ago. The body hackle is BEP, followed by natural pheasant rump, and widgeon flank. I discovered I was out of bronze mallard for the wing, so I subbed with gadwall flank. I think it'll swing nicely either way.
