As usual, great ties everyone.  

 

@Moshup - very nice, must be a real looker in the water.  Is that your own creation?  Did a quick search but came up empty.  

Niveker it’s a tie that was heavily borrowed from Steve Bird . Oregonian who’s a writer,tyer and guide.  This is his blog . Check it out as 

I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.  Some beautiful fish in his part of the world.

@niveker  So now we’re getting real fancy and tying Jenning’s flies !  Very nice !  Was out with my dog Denver

when those Boomers came through.  Have had a lot of those the past week.  Needed the rain. The frogs are

very happy.

@Moshup - just looking for something a little different to throw at those Brookies, since they don't seem to be happy with my current offering, and the ISO's are the biggest thing hatching on the lower Swift right now, though only sporadically.  

Quabbin's filling up, may even get the spillway going depending on the amount of rain this week-end.
