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???

Nice ants - you better call pest control I'm actually sitting at the bench now tying up my annual supply of prince nymphs.
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
