I did some wet wading with my phone in my pocket on Monday, so I don't currently have a way to take pics.

I'll just have to verbally report that I'm tying tons of Game Changers, size 30 Humpies, and a couple Jock Scotts. They are all museum quality.

I can’t remember if I showed this fly here before or not, as I tied this a couple months ago and had it in my fly box.). However, I tied this fly on this afternoon for the first time, after trying several other flies unsuccessfully, and immediately began sticking some feesch. (Excuse me if it looks somewhat chewed up, because it was.)

 

[Penns Woods]

Great looking fly. I can see why it was a winner.

I am just starting to tie dries. Thoughts on my sulfur klink? Parachutes are tricky!

 

[hooker-of-men]

Variant of this thing. Don't think color will actually matter.

 

[Sylvaneous]

I'll try and

 

[Sylvaneous]

My Euronymph sulfur. The body is that stretchy D-ribbing. Seems to be the same materal as the stretch tubing. Supplier didn't have the tibe stuff in this color so i gave it a shot and its what I was after. Its Dark Tan. I put either olive or yellow floss underneath because it should be shinier than threads and give it a depth of color. It didn't make a big difference. Im a sucker for legs (a-hem). I don't have the package the legs came in. They are finer than Grizzly Micro or the Span Flex ones. They stretch more than silicon but they're not spandex. I don't know what they are. I like how this came out. Much faster to tie than the 'anatomically correct fur nymphs I've been tying for over 25 years.

Are you willing to share the materials list for this fly? Looks like it would fit the bill for my caddis needs. Thanks.
