This is called 'Tim's Alternator' and was kinda fun to tie on a Size 16 3x long after all the 20's I've been squinting at! :D

Can't really tell from the pic, but the abdomen is a pearl Uni-mylar, which gives it a nice shimmer. I'm down to my last straggles of peacock herl, however, so one can imagine a fuller thorax! Might trim the bottom of the rusty hackle...but might not.

Tied a CDC Prince nymph on a Sz 14 Knapek comp jig-style hook. Fished it for a few days, caught a few and lost a few, all while bumping bottom more than once. Used a bit of UV resin in a strategic spot, and it's hard to tell, but the gold bead is pretty beat up, and the UV resin is gone!! :lol: Maybe these hooks really do float point up...hmmm....

...also found an old Macro I shot from a couple yrs ago. I think I had tied a hackled flashback PT.

I just like how the hackle turned out...and how much I have to 'clean-up' my hook eyes! B)

Does anyone have a spool of Glamour Madeira that they could part with, or have a spot that sells the stuff anywhere in town.. turns out it’s a finicky material to get a line on. Thanks in advance.
