Scott,
Your patterns are fantastic! I love the look of that "Rat Brown" ostrich herl! Ray is right! The thorax has a wonderful, buggy look that's hard to beat! It looks more real! Have you given them a dunk?
Powerful looking pattern Scott! Your talents are exceptional!
A fellow Whitlock fan for sure,
Doug

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

This is such a nice thread. It's a wonderful pattern and these examples are fantastic.

With Whitlocks passing, I've been looking at our posts of his fly. If any of you can tell me exactly how Scott P did his version at the end of this thread, I'd love to know it... I can't seem to figure it out

Go to FAOL and ask him. He and Norm dominate this worn out web page.

Love all these variations. On Whitlock's web site and the page on tying this nymph he shows 6 variations. I did get some of the SLF dubbing in the colors for this nymph and have tied a few of the standard pattern. Going to try tying some variations too. I believe Whitlock even mentions tying it in different blended colors.
