Some foam dragonflies based on a pattern I learned in an IFF Zoom Fly Tying class. Any resemblance to the fly taught in the class is purely coincidental.

Good vid. Can be used to tie any variation.

Working more on the Erie/NY box and a buddy reminded me to add in some peeking caddis and this is what I came up with. Pretty happy with the UV glow

Been running into a lot of Caddis hatches this fall. Thought I would add these to my box. A Parachute Adams has been really working better than my usual Caddis Drys. Go figure. I'll be using these as droppers.

Hook - # 14
Overbody - Tan Antron

Very nice ESP's in the pic above, BB.

Yes, a killer caddis pattern when tied properly.

working on L.L. Salmon flies .

Nothing fancy here. Just changing up some of my mop flies.
Plan to add a marabou tail to some of my bass size ones.

Changed the foam configuration from a single piece of foam to a booby style on the floating ones.

I was cleaning up my bathroom and I found a packet of flossing bristles. Figured I might be able to use them for a cased caddis pattern

 

[Baron]

Jerry I see you're tying dimes onto your flies, paying fish to take the hook?
Clever Ideas with the marabou.

Looks like great panfish flies

it used to stink up me and my flies big time

 

[Baron]

lol, When I smoked it was Captain Black Gold for years and years. Glad I quit some years ago but I do miss it.

I like those flies, What are you using them on, what target species?
