Very nice, indeed!

Great sculpin imitation for the skinny fish.

But don't let the fat bronze ones see them...they'll take a bite out of them thinking they're madtoms...aka stonecats.

Here is a fun tie. My friend Jack Fields has been manufacturing a new tying material he call electric wool. Here is a caddis pupa inspired by the late and great Gary LaFontaine.

Tho body is just dubbed. The vale is done it split thread wound as hackle then pulled over body. The head is also done in split thread.

Great buggy looking pupa pattern, Mike. Is the body, veil and head all done using Jack's dubbing?

Hey John, yes it is. The body and veil are. The head is a dark brown dubbing a man named Jon Bates gave me. He does not have a name for it. But I like it. Yesterday I got some more of Jack's material in other colors. I will try them out later this week.

The pic is up. Nice ties! For some reason, I find blues and purples work well in the winter.

Great I finally found something that works from the desktop. I would like to find someone that I can do entirely from my phone but this will work for now.

I found purples to work year round and as you said blue is definatley killer in the winter.

I have been MIA for awhile here but I never quite tying I just got frusterated with various photo sharing apps inability to provide an easy means to share photos to web forums.
