I've been thinking of the need for another, thought of putting this one up, Shared it with a few anglers to field test, so far it's been good to me. Fly is almost weedless and rides the bottom if needed.



Tungsten beads on the bottom


a few color combos

Nice looking flies David.

Some you guys on here amaze me with your tying skills. Heck I can't wrap thread around a hook where it doesn't look like a blind guy with no fingers tied it.

Today is day 6 of 10 straight work days. I've been at work more than away lately. I made time in my schedule to get some tying done. Very relaxing to me. I got a set with your name on it Glenn,  Todd, wife is putting yours in the mail today.

Nice Flies Btw, Thanks!

Gamakatsu SL11-3H #1 riding up, single hook. Articulated are next. Hard to tie a streamer with one hook. :D
