Yeah boy , that was ambitious Jim. Very good looking pattern. I'm going to tie it beat the waters up with here in East Kentucky and West Virginia. very enjoyable watching you the master at work. Thanks a bunch. Almost forgot, He was some heck of an investigator. espectially with the caddis.

Thanks Tom, I'm sure this will get the trout rising.

Great fly choice, Jim. You know this will work. Neither Jack Dennis or Gary LaFontaine never let convention or prettiness stand in the way of fly designs. Last year I tied up some black Gurglers & sliders for after sunset fishing. Now I know what to do with those small pieces of black foam that were left over. :-)

There you go, Pretty doesn't catch fish. LOL

[@kenmartin1211]

It will surely float... Nicely done. Thank You...

[@TheFlymanJim]

Yes it will

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Nice one Jim!

[@TheFlymanJim]

Many thanks!

Sure is a lot going on. Evasote foam, you say?

[@TheFlymanJim]

Yes Evasote Foam it is what you get from most fly shops. It is better then using the stuff from the craft store. It is thicker and softer.
