Sparsely tied and a nice combination of materials .

Beautiful, Wayne. I especially like the B13's. Those will work up here, and work well.

Thanks folks. I had to add a Purple.

You had me at muskrat.

Nice series Wayne. I’ll be making copies of my own.

All are nice, I still never catch anything on purple……

Ya know Dana, I have never had a bunch of luck either when fishing purple patterns! I don't know why! On a similar way, when I spin fish (is it OK to say that here?) with stick baits, etc., purple is the hot color. Purple over silver sided bodies! I realize that larger baits and smaller flies are not attracting the same game animals. The "purple and....." patterns just don't seem to produce on my quiet waters and with my always ravenous pan fishes!

Wayne, your patterns all look spectacular esp. the purples!

Purple has never been a confidence color for me either. Last year 2 of the 3 fish that I took on soft hackles, that were over 3 pounds took Purple. By fishing patterns gathered in the swaps we have here on FAOL, I have gained a respect for purple SH's. Will it be the first color I use? Maybe.

Great looking flies.

Heck yes. I found the love for light Yellow a few years ago. I haven't looked back.
