I will say this Riverman, you sure can tie nice flies. I just got the
box and frankly it was humbling. I knew I was not God's gift to fly
tying but to learn I was the worst of the bunch, well that is
sobering. My rough little Coalcar steelhead fly looks like a striking
West Virginia coal miner who stumbled into a Manhattan cocktail party
of beautiful little creations. I owe you guys.

I should imagine that it is difficult for you to tie flies while your
head is up your ass. d;o)

Just kiddin'.

Thanks, Dave. I'm still awaiting my flies (it must take a bit longer
to cross the pond), but I had fun tying that one. No idea how it will
fish, though...let me know if it works for you.

Excellent! I tied it with the profile of a Streaking Caddis (Skimming
Caddis) in mind, but experimentation at the kitchen sink showed me
that the foam overwing tends to float at water level, so the body acts
more like a drowned deer fly than a skimmer. Try different things;
letting it dead drift, skimming it, giving it some short 'death throe'
vibrations...I'd be very happy to hear how it works for you.

For sure. I'll be away from my computer for a few days but will post
results when I get back from E. Wash.

You are far too kind sir. Your contribution is very close to a lite
green dun we get mid spring on the East slope Olympic mountain streams
like the Dosewallips and Quilcene. I will use it. Thanx :-))

So Dave, I'm curious if the SuperFly caught anything for you....
