I have not tied in over 55 years, since back in the days of Herter's of Waseca, MN where I got my materials. Now, taking it up with arthritic hands but enjoying the journey. One of my my first ones, after warming up on some squiggly wigglies. Thanks for all the examples you provide here!! Inspirational!

Trying a few things with woven wire...

I saw the original, woven with yarn and small chenille, and decided to combine it with a Copper John kick that I’ve been on lately. I just struggle with the Pat’s Stone/girdle bug/ugly bug aesthetic when it comes to stoneflies.

I came across this pattern on another board and had to tie some. It's an English still water pattern that I think will work in my local lakes. I am a little concerned about the durability, but it's a simple, quick, tie.

Experimenting with shaped foam popper heads. This one came out a touch heavier than I planned, but does float - if low in the surface film. Will be interesting to see how it swims.

I like the looks of that. Nice tie.

For durability, I don't think a counter rib of gold or copper wire would upset the fish!

Thanks, but I am not sure about that with all the new technologies, materials, hooks, and options. Much is new. You Tube sure helps!
