Had to downsize because I have no 2mm pink foam, which doesn’t bode well for my Pookie needs. Found this stuff at a craft store in a pack of 3”x5” sheets in assorted, very bright colors; a little thicker than standard 1mm.  Probably should have gone with a chartreuse tag for a bit more contrast.

hook - WFC Model 28 #12
thread - UTC 140 Fluoro pink
tag - UTC 140 fluoro orange/UV resin
rib - Spanflex black (1/2 strand)
abdomen - I’ve Dun hot pink
wing - deer hair bleached
head/overwing - 1.5mm foam fuschia
indicator - Parapost hot orange
legs - medium rubber black

Regards,
Scott

I think I'd call that a Mardi Gras Mouse, Mark!  Looks killer, and I think you're a natural for deer hair work.

Thanks guys.

Which cutter do you use for the rigged tail on that dragonfly nymph?  
 

also what is that latex sheets?  Where do you get that stuff if you don’t mind me asking?

It's Jonathan Kiley's stuff. The sheets are what he calls Exo Skin. The dragonfly bodies are pre-cut when you buy them, and he actually calls them Damzel Tails. They look more like dragonfly than damsel fly bodies to me. Look up Flyskinz, that's his company.

Thank you!  Good looking stuff.  I wish they came out with a cutter like that!  Haha!      Thanks again I’ll check it out.

My go at the Moodah Poodah because I think the flies SBPatt is doing are awsome!

Hot spot is to big and body isnt visible enough. Heck it's not even tied on a the right hook! 😂

Corixa/cruncher - I saw a video of Davie Mcphail tying this fly back in April. In the video Mcphail mentioned he was using natural white peacock, so I tracked some down on Ebay. That was in early April. I finally received it about a week and a half ago...
