Hi Jim; Good to see you are still tying great flies.
Those Hydropsyche Larvae have given me a good few Rainbows in the Tongoriro a good fish fetcher. :thumbup: Have Fun. Jax

WOW,

They almost look alive.

Great

Cheers guys.

OMGoodness

That thing looks alive.

You are a bug artist.

Step outside of what we do and it would be wierd to figure this thing out.

But man, what a bug, really cool.

Jim, you are an artist on another level indeed.

Thanks Eric and Adam. Very kind words very much appreciated.

Fantastic ties Jim! Really, really like the look of that Swiss Straw used for the shellbacks.

Very Nice tying . Just love agood caddis larva pattern . :cool:
