Bead head: Hanak Competition ‘jig classic’ H 400 BL #14, tungsten bead, blue dun thread body with red wire rib & Solorez ‘bone dry’ UV resin, with starling soft hackle. I’m really enjoying tying with starling soft hackle.

Ohh, I should probably tie a few of these before my may trip to the laurel Highlands

Sulphur Emerger, size 14. Drop this one about 16 inches off the bend of the above posted Comparadun (post #604) and you’ll probably catch more fish on the Emerger than the Comparadun.

Getting ready for sulphurs:

More concept than fly- furled, folded mohair yarn with an offset bead. Execution is crap, but the effect is interesting and may be useful for other designs.

I like Charlie Craven and his patterns, but that is an Iris Caddis with some deer hair, isn't it? I realize all new fly patterns are mostly variations of existing patterns.
