Beautiful ties, Wayne. The aftershaft feather fly looks like you were channeling your inner Jack Gartside. I would fish them all.

Keeping with this theme.. REE suggested that he used small glass beads for the bodies so I took his recommendation.

RonR, Those worked great for me on the Selway and Lochsa last time I was there. With those glass beads, you can't drop your back cast on a gravel bar. Don't ask how I know.

skills, but I offer up this caddis:

Tied slanted down
Thorax: Hare's Mask (Olive)
In a dubbing loop
Hackle: Partridge (Dyed Olive)
Antenna: Pheasant Tail (2 Fibers)
Thread: Olive
Head Cement: Solarez Bone Dry
Tight Lines- Ken

Ken, you are a gifted tyer. That is gorgeous! Nymphed or swung, that fly will perform perfectly.
