Nice ties.  Have you ever used white alpaca for the bubble?  Makes a nice translucent bubble.

Thanks. I have not. My wife has some alpaca yarn; I’ll have to try it when I’m back home.

the mops are nice.one thing i have been doing to some of mine is trim the mop such as to a point in the tail  or do the body in a V shape as you look at it.  it changes the action and drop speed. medium    blue mops were working the best today on my grandsons 6wt.
