letumgo 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 I think the name should be changed to "Very Stimulating" Excellent tying & pattern. I can see this working on a wide range of species (trout, bass, steelhead...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevCompton 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 Hi Socallies23, Which hook are you using here? Just curious. You mention: "bent hook used to get the tail below the film" Are you bending the hook yourself or are you using a stonefly nymph hook? Thanks, Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

socallies23 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks for all the great comments guys/gals? I just started tying in june this was my first pattern i developed. As for the hook I use a standard hook and make the bend myself haven't had any issues with breaking yet. I know that some hook companies make a bent shank hook but the non custom models are cheaper. Anyways thanks again and glad you enjoyed my pattern. And yes it floats like a cork even when fished in a dry dropper system or through nasty swift current or riffles. I also ty them in black and gold as stone patterns with superfloss rubberlegs. photos to come soon CHEERS Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Creek 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Matt, I really like this. I think I'll tie a few for the salmon fly hatch this spring. It looks like a black poly-yarn tail would be cool also. Great tie! John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
