Those are nice Swamp Rat. Well done.

I finally got to some ant patterns, Also been tying a few fatty chernobyl  ants,  and I'm experimenting with blending plain old regular yarn  to make some cinder worm flies.

If it ever stops SNOWING, maybe we'll get to use some of this stuff soon???

Thanks Bartman.....Nice ants, That cinder worm looks deadly

Swamp rat nice!


And Bart man very nice too I Like the buggy fuzxy looking body on the hopper my self my hexes have similar look...

Thanks Boondox

thank you!!!
the jigs are patterns he sent me pics of
the bead ones i actualy was snelling hooks and making worm harnesses with those beads and had a brain storm,HAHA
not sure if they will work but they look cool
i named them the..BUMZ B4
He said they should work good out there in the  Columbia river and its tribs cause of the bright colors and flash
Im gonna try some here but downsize a bit those are 6mm beads gonna try 3 or 4 mm here ,who knows!

Real nice, well tied, the jigs remind me of an egg sucking leech pattern....the bead type resemble a patch of eggs on skein..... great idea

Took inspiration from Bartmans recent post of ant patterns and tied up these sz12 Fur Ants.

Nice ants - you better call pest control 

I'm actually sitting at the bench now tying up my annual supply of prince nymphs.

Thanks, that's ice dubbing. A bit more difficult to dub but looks cool.

Hahaha Thanks! Can't wait to see the little princes you're tying......I'm going to have to buy some biots now, can't wait til it's a little warmer and my new fly rod comes in

Here you go. One of my favorites (size 10)   for rainbows and I do go through a lot of them, credit Dom with my ample supply  of Peacock.

bartman  good  prince  nymph   ... I  fish them  a lot myself   few  things that work well  for  me  experiment  with  diffent color  turkey  biots   ...purple   works  wonders  in  salmon  river  for  steelhead  I   also  palmer  my hackle  so  it  is  pointing toward the  rear   makes  them   look more  like  legs   I think , great  fly  ....swamp your ants  are  top notch

Black bead head, peacock ice dubbing (instead of herl), legs from a blue Macaw, and purple biots.
