Bob,

I would like to see that fly up close. Any chance you could post a picture of a single fly for us to admire?

Thanks- Ken

Tying a lot of deer-hair patterns--many originated by Fran Betters: Haystacks, Caddis, Usuals, Mini-muddlers, and Fran's Dobsson/Stone fly. I love tying these, though hate picking out of my wine glass the deer hair trimmings, lol.

Thanks- Ken

No problem Ken. They have been a top seller at the Dette shop for years. Another big pattern that I made for them is the Iso nymph and will soon be making those Catskill dries with the wood duck wings. Love making those. Joe's great to do business with.

4mm foam beetle using a River Roads Foam Body Cutter. a small piece of fl. orange Z-lon as a sighter - 12's and 14's.

A friend at work told me his son, who goes to college in CO, is learning to flyfish. I wanted to give him a 2-dozen fly starter selection and knew I had to include some dries. This is way out of my comfort zone, but good for me!

Dubbing from pets works, have used both cat and dog hair-underfur. Have black cocker that has nice fine underfur with the odd longer one,like a fine seal almost,little softer. You guys inspire me and to see Norm,s tyes first thing in morning is great. That Cains Copper is well-makes me feel like sitting in front of vice right now but know could,t make one as nice. Such nice work. made my day Thanks .Daryl
Like that smoke jumper to Doc,you posted while trying to get my thoughts together after looking at everyone previous posts. Pretty lucky to have all these quality flys to look through first thing on a Sunday morning.

Leisenring's Black Gnat:



Hook: Maruto D82 - Size 14
Thread: Pearsall's Gossamer - Claret
Body: 3 fibers from a crow's secondary wing feather
Hackle: Purplish black feather from a Starling

Notes: I omitted the optional wing of dark Starling since the fly in the photo in the book didn't have a wing.
Kept the hackle short like the fly in the book photo (page 113).
For the fly on the left, I added a rib of 6X tippet material since those crow wing fibers seemed very fragile.

Tight Lines- Ken
