Now all you have to do is post the pics of the fish that the people caught using the flies that they tied that you copied the pattern from and claim them as your own...circle complete

Seriously nice flys though....I picked some similar up at TFH and have got to get out to try them.

Thanks Chubb, those look sweet. I think I would like the first two with the orange tops. Sometimes I have a hard time keeping my eye on my fly, especially in Edmonton's chocolate water.
