Very cool Kevin. It’s great material and fun to tie with.

A guys just brought some of this stuff to our last tying night. I really like the look of the softhackles. Hadn’t thought of that.

Excellent Ryan. Let me know how it fishes for you.

I like the sound of that Dan. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the kind words. Hope you are finding time on the water. This new baby is keeping us plenty busy, but I’ve got some trips planned. Can’t wait for her to be old enough to tag along.

The line is called Jewel and is now marketed for fly tying. Anyway I started using it for Chironomid’s and attractor patterns and have found it to be one of the best products I have discovered in “my other favorite fly shop” Indeed this pattern is a surefire winner up here in Washington and Montana where we have several Caddis specie’s often living in the same streams in large quantities. I have found head cement or brush on superglue also effective in protecting the material from sharp teeth. Enjoy that new baby!

Thanks David. No doubt, it’s a great pattern to have in the box. Hope all is well in TN.

Thanks WFF. It is tough to keep under control. A bobbin would be good. What I started using was a spool minder, that Jason (who posted already on this post) showed me how to make. They are awesome – http://www.azbythefly.com/articles/tutorials/95-spool-minders. Hope all is well up there. I enjoyed your recent video.

Thanks Jason. It’s fun to tie with and I’ve got more than I could ever go through in my tying career, that’s for sure.
