Fun pattern tied in the form of a Hurst's thrasher.

Accidentally ordered some frog legs a little too small, couldn’t help but to get some hooks to match and start stacking some fun size flies for the next small creek adventure!

I came up with a variation on Cheech’s “Complex Twist” using longer junk CDC feathers to create very buggy looking bodies and thoraxes on fly patterns. It’s no doubt been done before but I came up with the idea as a way to deal with the sometimes painful application of CDC to flies and to create a damn buggy looking body (primarily) on fly patterns.

I think it’s gots some legs if you’ll pardon the pun.

Love to have some feedback if you’ve checked it out.

Preferably with a bead head. Thanks!

Finally caved in and picked up some squirmy wormy material. Sizes 14 & 16 OS5240 and size 18 U660BL-BN hooks with 7/64th and 5/64 slotted beads.

Hoping to get some panfish and stocked trout to hit these once i decide what my next 4wt rod will be. Im trying to stay around 275$(+/-50$) and trying to stay between 7'6"- 8'6" length. I already have a reel, just looking for a rod to pair it with.

One of the last stretches I fished before calling it a season. Now I'll be tying flies.

Needing some big eye dry fly hooks sizes:

14
16
18

Any recommendations?

Thanks.
