Very nice, enjoying your posts, as always. I like the sleek tapered body on this one.

Nice!

IMHO - any weighted, sleek, smooth/hard-bodied nymph pattern designed to sink quickly is a perdigon. So yes, that would qualify. A purist might say you should thin out the tail to just a few fibers and add a black or dark wing case. I don't think what you use to coat the fly matters, I doubt UV resin was widely used, if at all, by fly tyers when the pattern was first developed. But, I'm not running the swap, so there's that.

I got an awesome hatch of stoneflies in my mailbox yesterday. Thanks to all the great tyers who joined in and Sir Trouttramp for hosting. More importantly, Godspeed to the return of your health and well-being.

Finally got a bit of time on the vise last night Bead Thorax Pheasant Tail Hook: #14/16 Thorax: 2 amber glass beads, 12/0 Thread: black, 8/0 Rib: fine copper wire Tail/Body: pheasant tail fibers Legs: pheasant body feather Beads coated with UV.

Lol - loved those guys growing up. Classics.

Forgot to post last week when I got my flies. Really nice set, you guys out did yourselves once again. Thanks Bob for hosting.

Congrats John on the first - and a nice fish too! I know I've said it before, but that is a sweet looking set-up you got there.

👍👍

Very nice, Heff2

Sorry guys, very little time for tying this time of year for me, sun up to sun down and then some.

Day-um!

Very cool, Steve, very cool. How big is it?

I agree with the S-man, that's a handsome fly.
