Computer scanner 'literate' I ain't. I'll tie some up this weekend (Keith, you did get yours in the mail, correct?) and see if I can get Joan to 'scan' them and figure out how to post them to the board.

Truly the simplest of ties and very, very effective. Probably the single most 'go to' fly on the upper Rogue summer or winter.

Another fly that I've been having great success with of late (steelhead and fall kings) is the UK pattern called the "Willie Gunn."

Have these done up as tube flys (the most common way of doing them) on Waddington Shanks and one of your SW Washington fellows showed me his done up on a single hook using Marabu rather than hair for the three stacked colours.

Done on tubes and Waddingtons the fly is as close to 'self hooking' as you can get (hook is "attached" the same way on both with a bit of tubing). Typically the hook will be a short shank, ring eyed #4. The other 'hook choice' I really like for these (tubes or waddingtons) is the short shanked Loop doubles. Fish even 'sniffs' the hook and you've got him.
