Thanks for posting the pictures Eric, and Victor.

Took a quick look and am impressed with both the flies and the photography.

Great ties but what's scary is I couldn't readily identify Paul's if they hadn't been labeled...

Well obviously not!! Any other guesses anyone? :cool:

Hi Eric,

Did Paul actually tie the Yellow Mayfly though? AFAIK it was the little white chenille lure with the olive and flash wing. When asked to guess which one he'd tied that caught my eye fairly quickly ;-). You may be relieved to hear that all is right with the world after all...

Regards,

Jo

Paul, There's a couple possible suspects :D likely cause your disturbed influence (hey! aren't you banned from this forum?).

You mentioned the lure whi-chen-oli-bou lure somewhere, the sedgy thing :???: but it lacks the clippy head plus there's something mouchee about it, cdc in that scruffy nymph so it's a no go, something hotleggy about the cased caddis :whistling: :p
