Hey Byron. I don't know what happened but I can see the fly now, excellent.
Nice one Bryon.....I hope you dont think I was trying to put you down because I wasnt.... I just lke mine a little fatter! I will try and hook up some lights tonight and see if I can get some pics to come out. I have actually started tying one that has a little bullet head and a little front hackle... it is pretty cool... may not be considered a stimi any more though.
No offense taken. I understand that most are "robust". I thought the thinner one might be a better floater.

The one on the left is the new one I have been working on for the yellow stones in June. I guess you probably really woudnt call that a stimi anymore but it floats like a cork with that double layer of elk hair. the one on the right is just my own traditional stimi I use for the Salmon Fly hatch and Oct Caddis. Btw those tails are short on purpose. They get very stiff when you tie them that short. I think it helps it float better.
