A couple 2X2's from the Stone Condiment series.

Annatto - My attempt to create a series inspired by Josephine Sedlecky-Borsum and her Hot Mustard - which will be featured next month.  This represents a small orange stone dry and can be tied on a larger hook for the October stone.

Hook - Mustad 94840, 10-14

Thread - black or orange

Body/Tail - orange poly yarn, extended beyond the hook bend, tied down to eye and folded back over tail and both cut ~ 1 hook gap beyond curve of hook

Hackle - grizzly or orange-dyed grizzly

Hoisin - Another of my attempts and imitates the small brown stone.

A change of pace for me.  My SW club's tying session this week was caddis patterns.  One of the patterns was the CDC and Elk(deer hair).  It's been a while since I tied one and this one was tied in a hurry.  I know I can do better, but here it is.  My standard hook for it is a TMC 2488.  The one in the picture, I believe is a Partridge hook.

 

1934503343_DSCF1163(2).thumb.JPG.83efcc1660d99494ea4c4790e1f8c78c.JPG

Hook:  TMC 2488, size 12( I tie them on size 10 to 18)

Body:  Wrapped CDC feather, your choice of color

Wing:  Hair from a deer's mask.

Thread:  Black 8/0

Now back to my normal stuff.  A panfish/bass fly.  I'm sure there's a fly out there that looks like this.  Or I borrowed bits and pieces from various patterns.

Tail:  Zonker Strip,

Thorax/collar over eyes:  Ice or sparkle chenille
