Richard,
That recent fly you showed us is one neat looking fly. Cool idea. Much better than sliding a "Twister Tail onto your hook!
I'll be tying up a few of them this winter for next spring/summer. Can't wait to slip one alongside some lillies and weedlines.
I also might add a mono weed guard for the times I want to go into the lillies and weeds a ways.
Cool fly. I like it!
Jeremy.
