Very nice Scott. Could be a nice dry by swapping the hackles.

A beautiful soft hackle. Maybe a good PMD emerger in a size 16/18?

Scott,
Don’t know that anyone has ever asked, but what do you do with the 100’s of flies you have tied?

I do fish some of them but a lot of the time it’s more to play around with different patterns and try different techniques; keeps the tying muscles from getting flabby.

Regards,
Scott

Well you certainly do a wonderful job on all of them, especially you photographic skills showing all the detail and colors so vividly. Always enjoy seeing your creations. Thanks
