Caddis season is upon me. As such, Yellow Sh's are the patterns of the day, along with a few others.
I thought I would add peacock instead of Haresear. I threw in a little Needle action as well.

Very nice, Wayne. What size are you tying those?

[DUBBN]

Thanks Ron. The beaded version is a 14. The Needle version is a 16.

[DUBBN]

One day I will get the hang of Needles.

Classic, yet modern. Marvelous work Wayne.

Very nice, Wayne. What size are you tying those?

I could make those work very well on the Little Mad; the Aroostook, too, in about a #22, sans bead. Smaller would work even better but I can't tie that small anymore. Stupid small bugs have been getting ALL the attention this summer. I had to give a Griffith's Gnat a serious haircut the other night.

Good looking flies!!

[Fishnkilts]

Great looking flies, Wayne. The ribbing on the body makes the whole fly just pop out for me.

Rookie question time. What do you mean by, Needle?

I believe the needle style implies that the hackle is tied behind the thorax/head.

As a follow up, I'm guessing that this will allow the hackle to envelop the body since there is no (material) dam? Used to imitate a caddis pupa in this case?

Very nice flies BTW
