Well of course they are. He usually has in the house before I've picked a pattern yet. Good job as usual woodenlegs.

Love the damsel mikemac1. Tie something very similar using fringe beads ties together with a wire to give the glass eyes. Look forward to your in the box.

There are some things you can always depend on: the sun rising, the sun setting, and woodenlegs getting his ties in first.

Always wondered why the horses were so winded by the time they got here! 😉

Glad you got the flies OK and thanks for letting me know.

Mikemac1, your damsels arrived yesterday.  I know a Sierra lake where these should be killers.

They work great for me on Georgetown Lake (SW Anaconda, MT) on the opening weekend in May.  Just about anywhere you can find a weed line at 8-10’, the rainbows love em.
