So rad, by far one of my favorites, thanks Mak, Namaste!

[@Makflies]

Thank you Christian :))

[@Patr212]

In a word.... Brilliant!! 🐟🐟 Tight lines

[@Makflies]

Thank you so much friend 😊😊😊😊

[@vanfleming1]

Thanks. I’ve subscribed and will bid on what I see and like. Can’t wait to use them. Have a 12 year old grandson in steamboat, CO that I fish with and will send flies too. He ties as well.

[@Makflies]

Thank you Van, I do have some listed on ebay, Hopefully soon I will be selling lot more :))

[@frankklimko9058]

This is beautiful and I'm sure to impress fishermen with a few of these in my box.

[@Makflies]

Thank you Frank, I am glad you like it :))

[@Solovapor]

Again a great pattern - Like the green and red combo- Thanks Mak !

[@Makflies]

Thank you Solo, I am glad you like it :))

[@handcannon1388]

Great looking fly. Another great way to build a thorax on flies like these is by using the split-thread technique with your dubbing/flash mix and a little cdc to simulate legs.

[@Makflies]

Thank you friend, I am glad you like it :))

[@kentw.897]

Beautifully done Mak! I like the color of the dubbing you used to finish this pattern. It looks Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Aloha!🌴🎣🐟

Thank you Kent, really appreciate that my friend :))

[@kentw.897]

I got it. Number still matches up. I would not have thought that it would be that color.😊 I just Love the looks of Your Transparent Caddis Larva Mak. Pretty Color too! This one is my Favorite. So far I have tried a couple different brands, but I'm still not satisfied with the markers. Thanks to you, I will be ordering some of my favorite colors from them. Thankyou, my friend. You Take Care! PEACE 🕊

Great job, Mac! Thanks for the video, success and new ideas!

[@Makflies]

Thank you friend, I am glad you like it :))

[@ianbruce6515]

I tried this style with a tinsel wrapped shank underneath the transparent wraps. Seemed to add glow and disappear the silhouette of the hook shank somewhat.

[@Makflies]

Thank you Ian, like the idea ☺️

[@pierevojzola9737]

Thanks Mak, once again a fly made using the KISS principle of fly tying!

[@Makflies]

Thank you Piere,, I am glad you like it, nice comment my friend :))

Приятно наблюдать над созданием вами мушек, 🤗👍🤘 творческих успехов

[@Makflies]

Спасибо, мой друг, я очень ценю это :)))

[@chrisfahlbush2663]

This is the one I meant to comment on. Couldn't you use a florescent thread as well or instead of the clear and using a marker? Or does the marker make it look much brighter?

[@Makflies]

I could but I like clear stretch, it makes it more realistic

[@captspaulding987]

Hi Mak, I’m new to fly tying and your patterns are a revelation, so thank you. Can you tell me on this pattern is the clear body material span flex or something else?

[@Makflies]

Thank you Oliver, It is a Clear Stretch Beading Elastic :))

[@anablakp3200]

The brand is Crystaline; beading elastic.

[@vanfleming1]

How can you purchase these flies directly and in larger lots and smaller hook sizes. Maybe a 16nor 18?

[@Makflies]

Hi Van I am sorry I don't sell these, :))
