I made a few up this weekend. About 1/2 of what I plan on. Hope they will last for quite a while.

Yeah- I have good times with the orange & white.
Something I made up a while back. Has the colors, movement & is quick & easy to make up.
Never tried red & white, but I'm hopeful.

hey salmo, nice looking flies. What do you use for the collar on the black and orange flies? If you don't mind?

ST,
Where do you buy your saddle hackle, and what size is that? I have been looking for a better effect for collars on my larger comets...

It's just low grade neck hackle. It comes strung. Fish USA has it in their tackle shop as Chinese strung hackle.

I think I got mine in Pulaski @ Yankee fly shop.
That's where I get the body material & chain also. That is a pattern they make & sell in their shop in various colors.
The ones in my pic. are the colors that have done best for me.
Stop in & check things out when you get up there. They've always been very cool with me.
