Great pics. I'm excited to see them in person thanks for setting this up. I learn so much from all of you.

I did not participate but those are way cool.
Very nice stuff.
I am curious. Is the bite very soft on these in a lake like nymph fishing in a river? I guess this is what they are at heart is a nymph pattern.
I tried some of these (other patterns) last summer in a couple lakes without any luck. It just seems it would be the way to catch fish for sure.

It is a strong take most the time. I am including a slip indicator with these flies. That is my preference, but a fast sinking line and jigging so to speak also works.
The indicator is great. See it go down, you just pull your line, then lift your rod.

I have been following flygodess's technique for a while now. I have only used it on prolific high mountain lakes but the slip indicator is the way to go.

I will have to second that quote. I use the slip indicator on lakes, rivers, streams, just about every where I go.

If you do something like this again, I definitely want in. I'm very interested in the slip indicator rigging. You explained it once to me, but I haven't had opportunity to try it out yet.

I Just received my flies. They are all great. There are some really talented tiers in that group. I can't wait to try them. Thanks flygodess for doing all the work and for the slip indicator.
