Thank you for the compliments on my flies and photos… I want to try and get this forum back to what it was. There are a lot of experienced and excellent fishermen who share the common love of the Little J on this forum. I hope to get things started again…

what did you use for the wing pads on the pupae?

Amber Thin Skin cut into 1/4″ strips

is that olive antron for legs on the top one?

Yes. I tie it in as the wing case. Once the thorax is dubbed, I pull the antron wing case over and then splay the legs.
I hit the top of the wing case with a black sharpie and then a drop of UV glue.

The foam wing case flies – a floating nymph on top and a transitional below – are deadly in the film when they’re smutting and won’t take a winged fly.
