On a whim I tied some of the orange ones up in a size 16 this morning to take out this afternoon. I didn't slay them, But I did catch a few Brookies on them. I think I will keep a few in my fly box.

Norm,
Very nice! I really like how smooth your floss body wraps are. I wish my rough finger tips would allow me to do half as good a job as you - again, nicely done!
Trout don't speak Latin.
I have always considered Ashers as great go-to flies when there is nothing visibly hatching. I also like the addition of peacock herl as a shell-back (the Crackleback series of flies from Feathercraft) when it is used under the surface. I think the addition of some peacock certainly couldn't hurt a lot of sub-surface flies.
Very nice tie.
Joe
