Very nice! I really need to buy a Hungarian partridge skin. I've been putting it off because they are so expensive, but none of the substitutes come close.

The hobby can get a bit expensive.  But......... at it's worst it still is cheaper than golf or wild women.

DB Holo Softhackle

Took a Diawl Bach chassis and added a denser hackle; at this size, the scud hook gives me more gap than a traditional hook would.  This could play on the tailwaters next spring; change of pace from all the Lightning Bugs and Green Machines.

hook - Dai Riki 135 #16
thread - Danville 6/0 black
tail - hackle brown
rib - Holoshimmer red (doubled)
body - peacock herl
hackle - hen brown

Regards,
Scott

An un-muddled version of Ryan Houston’s fly.  Possible Mother’s Day Caddis with a few mods.

hook - BVFT Dry #10
thread - Danville 6/0 brown 
tag - medium tinsel opal
rib - small wire gold 
body - dubbing olive body 
hackle - hen furnace 
wing - hen pheasant tail 
collar - pheasant rump dyed brown

Regards,
Scott

Thanks!  They are gamakatsu...  dang I forgot the model number.  It’s their super small barbless.  Expensive though!  Haha

@Moshup, I'd be happy to pick you up some snowshoe rabbit feet. I'll be on vacation from Saturday to next Friday. So after that if you'd like. Color preferences?

I got some nice feet from J. Stockard.  They have ~8 different colors (including tan).  Hope this helps.
