Absolutely beautiful ! You always make it look so easy. I’m positive It’ll be a while before my skills will get close enough to yours but that’s why we shoot for the stars

It would be interesting to see the process of tying the first one of your original flies to see the evolution in the concept.

Like this pattern a lot. Where I fish most of the time is the upper portion of the Little Blackfoot. Really a creek. The Sally hatch is significant. Concurrently, there is a hatch that I don’t know. Tiny, thin, lime green. Body size is about 1/4” wings about double. Stonefly shape, much like Sallies. Wings are slightly hazy clear. Is anyone familiar with taxonomy?

Awesome pattern Charlie

@3:00, I would have used CDL… A huge part of my pleasure in tying flies comes from using natural materials. I understand prioritizing function over form but in this case, not sure what having stiff fibers buys you since this is a nymph.

CDL rooster? Too short lived for a pattern like this….they just break off too fast. These tails are tough and durable

Very nice

For some of the palmered peocock eye streamers I tie the hook I need is a short shank deep keel hook. I landed on a hook similar and it comes off set. I bend them out too, I personally think they are bait hooks re purposed.

Charlie, any details you can add on the model of Wooster Paint Brush you like for mayfly tails?

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice

Looks kinda like an octopus style hook from the saltwater world

1150’s suck(and I like Daiichi Hooks). Spend the $, buy the 206 or the JB’s.
