Spiel Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Okay I was gonna hold off on posting anymore but I just finished these two and had to share. I think they may be the most realistic flies I've tied to date. Made some changes from the last Brown Stonefly and added in the antennae, a bead head and some brown peacock herl in the thorax to simulate the gills. I'm thinking the trout, any trout would love 'em. For size reference the bodies are about 7/8ths of an inch long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) All that work and I can just imagine the first rainbow or brookie on it...under a nice log jamb and then all of the sudden.... ping! oh crap just broke off in the tangled brush pile! No different than the undr water camera I recently bought... first time down a hole and what do I see??? A big ol muskie eyeing it up for food! It would have been worth loosing the camera to see it happen! PS: I think you out did yourself on those 2 Chris.... now back to those 3 inchers I was talking about....

Reminds me of my earlier stones I tied.. it took me an hour to tie each one as I copied the real nymph.. don't have that kind of time anymore! Those are going to kill steelhead, wicked stuff man.
