A new addition to the fly pattern database has been submitted by sukhoidave:

 

This is a pattern I came up with for a swap from another forum. I liked the amber ones so much I tied up a bunch in other colors.

Dave - Very nice soft hackle nymphs. Could you post the recipe and a couple close-up photos of the amber ones and the ones on the far left side. These look like great. I think the amber one will work well as a golden stonefly imitation. Thanks for sharing.

Looking good. I would also like to see a close up of these flies.

Very nice. I seem to be a pretty good fly-tyer too, and a lousy fly-fisherman.

Sorry it took so long to get this taken care of. I've been doing a lot of work on my custom tools.

Very nice ties, those will catch more than a few fish. Really like the amber and olive.
