    sent you a half dozen "duckstones" yesterday, keep any spares i dont need any back. duckstone is what i decided to name my ptottype stone fly nymph. the reason is, if you dont slow down your forward cast and open up your loop, you better duck.

    the pattern is as follows:

    hook: umpqua size 10 u555
    bead: 3/16 copper colored slotted tungsten
    thread: uni thread 6/0 olive
    tail: olive goose biots
    rib: spanflex, ginger color
    abdomen: whitlock slf golden stone nymph dubbing
    thorax: whitlock slf golden stone nymph dubbing
    hackle/legs: spun sculpin olive pine squirrel
    covert: mottled oak golden stone thin skin
    head: whitlosk slf golden stone nymph dubbing


    any questions or comments will be greatly apprecited

    Went to tie my Clark's Golden Stonefly patterns and found, much to my chagrin, that I was out of 1 XL dry fly hooks. They came in the mail today and I will get them in the mail on Monday 5/18. Thanks for your patience.

    Flies went out on Monday, returned today! "Need $1.00 additional postage."! I had the postal clerk weigh before I sent, the PO answer man said that maybe they didn't understand what I was doing/saying? Set for Wednesdays mail with additional postage. The way things are going, if all goes well that is, you should receive the flies by Christmas!

    Thanks again for hosting - additional postage for my return stamps in a separate cover - FYI.
