Howar...BrianJ - Great book! Its on my to get list.<br />Howard - Glad I could help out. I hope it hooks into a few fish lips for you.<br />TTChron - Glass seems to really make the boatman come to life. Hopefully the fish will agree.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316041269518485658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293048210991269687.post-21573227362942679162012-02-02T22:54:03.569-05:002012-02-02T22:54:03.569-05:00Great idea using the glass beads for abdomen.

Maybe I'll do a little Tenkara style fishing and see if they bite.<br /><br />Brian - I think you are onto something there. Next set will have UV Flash beteen the beads.

They have some flies that they show as imitations (Corixid & Corixa Bug), but they are not nearly a good as yours. A great job and a great imitation. <br /><br />MarkMark Kautzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802544198629446327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293048210991269687.post-15502684798623657512012-01-30T11:37:57.085-05:002012-01-30T11:37:57.085-05:00Nice looking fly...I havn't ever tried a water...Nice looking fly...I havn't ever tried a water boatmen pattern but as common as they are on some of my waters I'm sure they've ended up in a trouts stomach on more than one ocassion.HighPlainsFlyFisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687603070322008065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293048210991269687.post-61472980939787656442012-01-30T11:37:43.321-05:002012-01-30T11:37:43.321-05:00Awesome!-- I've been looking for a simple boat...Awesome!-- I've been looking for a simple boatman that shows the air bubbles properly-- I'll have to give this one a try.
