Sounds like fun!  I'm in Kansas dodging covid like bullets.  Keep those expensive boxes of jems close and safe.  I've lost entire boxes of flies before, worth hundreds of dollars.  I would cry if I lost one of those boxes of beauties.  BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!    BE SAFE!!   

IMHO a pretty standard box of inshore flies.  Kept me busy on the early mornings i wasn’t out trout hunting.  Its kind fun building out a new box every once and a while.  Hopefully I made some improvements over last year’s batch.  The fish will be the judge.   Thanks for the compliments though.

Found this article by April Vokey after my post. Summary: Highly questionable.

Thank you! Sorry I've been away for so long. I was finishing my PhD and started a new job. It feels like the past week is the first I've had any personal time since the spring. I missed most of the fishing season, but it feels great to be back at the vise.

@Julius Riffle all good things for you. Congrats.

Steve,

Thanks. On the U.K. site where I found the fly, it’s listed as a “lure”, which is sort of a streamer. It’s definitely meant to be fished sub-surface so I guess, technically, it’s a wet fly.

Regards,
Scott
