Sweet...... :z16

I must have some sort of problem, cos i can't see any of John's flies.
I can see the SBS, but the others like the Caddis in this post, i only get the text :z8.

Will have to look into this, as i would love to see some of johns others flies :z16


Iain, i like the snowshoe idea, i have a couple, one of which is Light Dun, this could be the grey you're looking for.



If not , Snowshoe is actually good at taking marker pen :wink

Had a play at an Iron Blue today, i used a grey Pantone marker on the snowshoe, worked pretty well :z16

Thats a real nice fly Sandy. I must get me some light blue dun and give it a go myself.  I've uploaded the caddis pupae in the virtual gallery if you wanna see it.  :grin
Cheers, John.

Another must tye pattern Sandy  :z16

So does the snowshoe in the light Dun appear 'whiteish'? as you've had to use a Pantone to get the colour.

Just wonder if getting pens is more worthwhile than Dun 'shoe.

Iain

I'd get some pens :z16 I find them very useful.
The dun snowshoe is a greenish grey that is perfect for a lot of dun wings
I did pick it though of the shelf, with that in mind :wink
The inky wings of the iron blue needed a wipe with a grey marker,
but only the iron blue has wings that dark :wink
having both options is great.
You don't need many pens either get some basic buggy colours
grey, golden olive, olive, yellow, red, tan and black would be good to start with.
You'll find a lot of cool tweeks become available  :z16
