Thanks bud, yours looking exceptional as always.  Yup. A handful of baitfish and a handful of random bluegill bugs. Loving the Renzetti!

Your tying has come a long way brother! Your stuff looks amazing. Now, lets see some of that deer hair you've been spinning!

Winter Stonefly (Roos variation)

Playing around with a black caddis idea (hence the Goddard-like wing shape) and realized it’d make a passable winter stonefly.  May have to integrate an indicator of some kind since I won’t see this past 15’.

 

Awesome looking fly Scott!

I have actually seen that fly tied with otter.  It was tied by one of my dads friends probably in the 40's.

Thanks Mike! I love Hendricksons! Bit of a hit/miss hatch but it’s the first opportunity for a great hatch in my neck of the woods.

And I agree with you, lots of great stuff getting posted!

That's a great looking pattern- I was recently given several packs of 1990's(?) rubber legs from a friend who never quite develop as a tier.  I think I'll tie a couple in that style.  They might be "trout getters" around here in the summer!
