Very cool. It looks like the Uncle of the Guides Choice.

Thanks. Put too thick of a tail on the first one. I have caught a lot of fish with this fly.

Wish I could post a photo. I do something extremely well with the Guides Choice.

Wish you could too. Miss seeing your flies.

Nice!
The first one almost looks like it was tied on a swimming nymph hook.

Darrell,
Each pattern you have posted looks fantastic! My pick? The second, darker version! Something about the look of it just smacks of insect goodness!
Thinking like a trout this morning,

Easily adjusted on the stream. I’d fish them both, without hesitation, and expect them to catch trout.

Thumbs up!
