This is my version of the Shop-Vac fly developed by Craig Matthews of Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone, MT. I always liked the fly, but I like to fiddle with things and this is the result of my experimentation.
Nice presentation, Kelly.

Good idea with changing the rib color. I think you did a nice job, too.
This is a beautiful fly — for your 1st submission — you chose a really great pattern. KEEP EM COM’IN
Thank you! I’ve got more in the works.
Kelly.
Kelly, I like the fly presentation you submitted. Thank you. Jim
Kelly,
Very nice fly. Hope to see you do a step-by-step of one of those parasol flies you sent me last summer.
Regards,
Scott
Thanks, everyone for the great feedback. Scott, I’m working on that submission as we speak. Looking forward to sharing that particular fly.
Kelly
Me, too, I tied one of the parasols the other day and couldn’t find a material that would puff like yours.
Kelly, I too anxiously await your parasol fly. I’ve done some, and to be honest, just haven’t had much luck with them. So I need to figure out what I’m doing wrong! (grin) Nice job on the Shop-Vac fly, looks like it would work well on the streams I fish. I’ll give it a try this year.
