The Sanctuary is like a soft-hackle version of the Gold-ribbed Hare’s Ear.

Norm,

Absolutely beautiful!

What are you using for "head cement"?

Thanks- Ken

Looks like a perfect spring creek cressbug pattern. Nice!

A great pattern, simple and effective. I started tying these right away after getting my first copy of Bergman's "Trout". Once upon a time I went through "Trout" and tied all the wingless patterns. Many are what I would call a "fufu pattern" (fancy little attractors) but this pattern is one that I still tie and fish.

I tie mostly on Mustad hooks as well. Doesn't mean you are cheap, only that you like a classic look, enjoy effectiveness and are wise.

Norm - Your answer really surprised me. I was expecting an answer you to say several coats of head cement. I’m impressed with the results, and now intrigued to try this resin.
