    That bead body has worked for me in blue over the years - can't imagine why.

    Nice flies, Normand. Thanks for the pics.

    Bob Jacklin used a green caddis to catch this beast of a brown:

    I really like the Thread Body version. Looks translucent.

    I love the tyes , I just have not had any luck with caddis green patterns here in the west. I have friends that swear by them. I use cream colored caddis and they use green. They cant catch em on my patterns and I cant catch em on theirs. The Thin Skin pattern gave me a couple ideas for some Golden Stone Thin Skin I have.

    I'm guessing a typo? Should have been " Green and black beads" perhaps.

    I do know when you cut and paste text from anything other than a basic text editor (i.e. notepad) like Word or something, punctuation usually doesn't always copy well. That's where a lot of unwanted question marks comes from.

    gee whiz!

    the 'amp' is now deleted. must have been a remnant from the copy and paste.

    hope it didnt distract too much from the relevant information i was trying to convey!

    my spelling was spot on!
