It's not pretty
#1
[font "Pristina"][green][size 4][cool]It's not pretty but it just might work. Didn't have any sturdy biots for the feelers so I used small pieces of peacock herl on my stonefly. [pirate] The body is a made from a thin piece of sheet foam. As you can see my tail end looks like it had been worked over already. Oh well back to the drawing board or should I say the vice.

I did pick up some Swiss straw which takes colors real well. Bought only one pack in gold as I can cover most of the colors with a fabric marker. BTW Michaels sells their Sharpie fabric markers a lot cheaper that Staples or my fly shop. [/size][/#008000][/font][/left]

Nice looking bug. It would sure fool me into picking it up and throwing it on a hook if I was near a body of water.[cool]
