to be used at a secret spot.

I'll be messing with a few color variations, but at the small stream where I will be fishing them it shouldn't make too much of a difference. Oportunistic feeders don't care too much if its wheat bread or white bread. Or wild hairs for that matter. :-)

Tha tail is Z-lon or pheasant tail.

Excellent close up photography Mike.

Most flies that close up would never look that perfect either.

I can see any fish falling for that one.

thanks.....

Nice Job, Mike. PMD Quigley Cripples are one of my favorites too. I really like how you kept the shuck material to a smaller number of zlon fibers. I noticed that the pattern pic I put on my web site is really too heavy, going to have to re-do.
