Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 i will have to give this one a try
Conor Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Here is one that is creative in its simplicity. The dumbell eyes might be a bit unique to a stonefly pattern, as well. I don't think I have seen that before. I call it the bug-eyed stone. Materials are obvious and substitutable. Image hosting isn't woring for me, so here is a link to a thread I posted on the pattern: http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?showtopic=6141
admin Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Looks good Conor. Don't be shy people, get you patterns in, there are just a couple days left.
streamertyer Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Hard for me to pick only one. Someone else can do it. ;-) http://cdelplato.googlepages.com/ CD
