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.

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.

I'lll try it this weekend. It looks like a big deer or horse fly. My
stretch has em in spades.

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.
