Trust me Doc I'm thinking about it.
I really do like that last pattern with the blue feather overlay at the end of tying it, since I don't have that type feather I'm thinking of using a peacock neck feather - would be blueish/green, just wouldn't trail as far back as the one he tied in the video. The only other think that bugs me about it is he says the dubbing is Kingfisher Blue and the SLF KB dubbing I have is WAY brighter than what he uses. but we'll see!!!!!!!!!

No Doc I don't need any Dry Fly videos - and have plenty of tying books for wet flies. Great set of video's is the tying series Fly Tying the Anglers Art http://kwsu.org/Offers/FlyTying.aspx
And Doc you're the only person I know with enough HOT AIR to make something like that happen!!!!!!!!!

Stump I use 8-9 of the old Ray Bergman wet flies but I've been using some of the soft hackle wet flies - with all the colors of feathers you need to tie them though it gets crazy!!! I really don't want to deal with dying feathers. For some really cool ties check out this site http://donaldnicolson.webplus.net/ Don is a really good guy to talk to.
