Looks good !

Thank you Moshup, it's  getting there.  Perhaps a small light thorax of hare's mask?  Holding off on the hooks until I get to that sweet spot.

YouTube suggested a video on tying a matuka style fly this morning. After watching it I thought the fly looked kinda cool so I sat down and tried it this evening. Not 100% happy with the result. The tail ended up kind of wonky, but not bad for the first attempt and I don't imagine the fish will care too much.

Troutlore’s Geehi Beetle

A neat Aussie pattern I found here.  Used the cree collar because I have an old Collins’ cape I break out every once in a while but doubtful it’s a difference maker; golden badger or barred ginger would probably provide a similar effect and work just as well.

hook - WFC Model 4 #10
thread - Veevus 8/0 tan 
tail - golden pheasant tippet 
body - peacock herl 
body hackle - brown (undersize by 2) 
collar - cree (tip-tied)

Regards,
Scott

Couple of Harrop's caddis

Size 16 200R

The rest is pretty self explanatory, but if anyone wants either recipe let me know. 

@SBPatt that ascending caddis is fantastic. Well everyone is showing excellent work.
