Darth - thanks for field testing the Stim. I'm hoping to try some of the other variations this coming week after work.

I can't remember if I sent you one of the "hot-butt" versions (orange punch yard for "egg sack" at the back instead of elk hair tail or a more traditional one.

I also have some tied with peacock herl for the thorax and some with punch yarn in a different color than the punch abdomen (usually orange and yellow though sometimes I swap which color is in the rear...orange abdomen make it look a bit like an October Caddis on the water allegedly).

They're a little tricky to tie the first few times but I think I've just about got it nailed down for the punch yarn fly swap.
