Finally here is a shot of colors that can be achieved with colored mono or by coloring clear mono with permanent markers.

Those look good, Fred! Great color combos you picked.
I like that hook....what is it?
Add a little extra-fine opalescent glitter to your glue and they will look even more awesome. It will resemble scales.
The larger the glitter you use, the larger the scales will look. Using your markers over the glitter will make the glitter will change color too.
Just a thought- something I do.
Thanks FishnDave and Don . Dave the hook is a Mustad S71S SS size 8
Fred
I like those. Thank you!
Nice ties!!!!!! Which do you think works better the epoxy or the head cement??
Could you send this in for a FOTW?
Rick
Thanks pittendrigh
Thanks Fatman ,as for which works better ? Epoxy and head cements have different properties. If I want a fly to stay near the surface I will use flexament which by itself floats. If I entend this fly to go deeper clear fingernail polish or epoxy will tend to be more durable and allow the fly to travel deeper.
Rick this pattern is part of a magazine article I sent in for approval. Once it's published I'll see if I can post the full pattern here.
Fred,
I have "different" mono, that I think you' llike to try with your minnow. I bring you some at North Toledo Bend Rendezvous on Friday.
