I am going to try a few more color schemes. I may also include a deer hair wing. I am thinking this head style on a sex dungeon pattern would look good.
Nice cricket! It looks like an uncomplicated but effective dry-dropper fly. I experimented with foam humpies this year. They worked but your fly likes like a faster tie. I'll have to tie a few up, too.
The Disclaimer I am quite new to tying and have a lot to learn. This is the first time I have been brave enough to post one of my attempts at a Ray Charles Sow Bug. I fished this pattern last week and the chubs loved it. A few trout as well. It was the first time catching fish on a bug I tied and was very rewarding.
I like looking at the ties. Makes me a bit jealous that between my arthritic hands and my cataract eyes I have to buy what I used to make. Oh well, getting old ain't for sissies. The cataracts are on my list for disposal shortly. Keep on tying!GG
That rust brown bugger looks great. I really like the grizzly hackle. I think I will need to order a bugger pack of it in the near future. I can't seem to find it locally.
