I found a hooper species that we see alot in the fall down here, but not in the spring and summer. I couldn't find it in any insect reference books so it may be a color variation of a common species. Anyway I'm sure the fish get to see them as well . So I tied one up as close to the natural as I could.Attachment 9283
It's mostly deer hair and mono . The wing and pronotum is kleenex tissue soaked in flexament. It's size matches the live insect's and it's tied on a size #6 hook.
Thanks for looking , Fred

Fred,
How do you tie them onto the hook with their little legs kicking and such? I heard if you stick them in the freezer for a bit it makes it easier.
Seriously, that is one terrific fly. How long did it take you to tie, approximately? Wonderful work.
