Count me in with an Undertaker (variation) on an Orvis 1645 size 1.

I’ll do a yellow stimulator.

Bob

And I’ll do a FL. Green Humpy

No one has jumped on the Elk Hair Caddis, yet? I’m really surprised. I thought that would be the first chosen. I could be cheesy and pick it, but I’m not. Waaaaay too simple.

I want to do a new (and somewhat strange) pattern called the TTFU (The Thing From Uranus). It is definitely off the beaten path. I’ll do it on a size 8 streamer hook.

I’ll post pics as soon as I get one tied correctly. You’re gonna love this.

Put Me down for an X-Caddis Varient size 16.

Here is the TTFU. These should be awesome. I’m going to field-test this one tomorrow.

TTFU-(The Thing From Uranus)

Hook: #8 or #6 Streamer
Thread: Burnt Orange Danville 6/0
Body: Brown 3 ml Closed-Cell Foam
Wings: Blonde Elk Hair
Dubbing: Orange Orvis Angora Goat
Legs: Black Silli-Legs

Gigmaster, that thing from Uranus looks good(never thought i would ever say that to a guy)-LOL

I will let you know wht i am tying, time to think

FISHNFOOL9
Brian

CdC and Elk!!
Sjo

Flies went in the mail today:D

Bill, it’s the second of the month! What will you do the rest of the month?

Bill,
Jean had to go a baby shower yesterday and took Her Truck, My truck’s AC has a leak and it was too Da#* hot to go anywhere and the Tiger’s are playing bad ball, So I had to do something;)

I need some help on this one guy’s. I have plenty of material but not a clue on what to do with it. I just seem to have hit a wall lately on pattern’s and feel like I’m in a rut. Can someone suggest a pattern or idea? Thank’s.

How about a Yellow Sally? HooK 14 to 16 Standard Dry, Thread: 6/0 Yellow, Body and Underwing: Yellow Zelon (or sub), Overwing: Bleached Elk Hair dyed Yellow, Hackle: Rooster saddle or neck dyed yellow or ginger hackle. This is a Fly of the Month from R&R Fly Fishing. Or, a Sedgehammer variation, caddis hook size 14 or there abouts, body green tinsel wrapped from the bend forward, Elk Hair (or deer) wing, throax / head dubbed over the wing in grey.

Nice fly Bill. I like fishing this one as dry or as an emerger. One off my favourits.
Sjo

Received flies from bdesavage today.

Thanks,
Paul

I will fo a Madam X variation.

Rick

I’ll do an October Caddis (aka an orange stimulator).

John

As usual I have no idea what i will tie. I’ll look into it and try to remember to post the pattern this month.

FishnFool,

I tried to PM you my address, but your inbox was full.
