I was in middle of admiring these flies, and then read your closing sentence and burst out laughing. Too funny. I'm glad you are so easily distracted, but you better get back to your chores. Remember what happened last time? No Flymph Forum for a week! (humor)

In all seriousness, these are fantastic! Beautiful, yet fishable.

Hen pheasant is an under rated hackle, IMO. Lovely mottling/barring.

Nice job Wayne!
That is a heck of a lot better than your alternative job, LOL!

Killer caddis, Wayne. I always like the shaggy openness of that split thread method. These should make beautiful emergers on your water. It's a cleaning day here too.

DUBBN, Howdy;

Wayne, looks like you are really getting the 'Split-thread' down to a science.
Good lookin flies.

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

Sweet work Wayne.
Should be a nice deeper water pattern for you rather than a top of the film- hope that is what you were aiming for when these were tied up? ;)
