Nice ties Jonnie
Couple of questions what are the bottom 2 hooks and did you blend the dubbing yourself

[jonnied17-2008]

cheers guys

yep blended myself mate, mainly seals fur, the darker one has a pinch of peacock ice dub mixed in. The hooks are dohiku jig hooks, very very strong and sharp. Got mine from phil at FTB.

very, very nice
just one question, if you don't mind. Whats the body material on the beady ones? Thought it was glister/seals fur mix at first, but checking again I'm not sure

[jonnied17-2008]

cheers john, the dark cased caddis has a pinch of peacock ice dub in, the rest are just straight up seals fur. The top one has a peacock ice dub thorax.

Thankyou, I should have checked before. My bad

Very nice Jonnie
Bugs are something I ment to try last year but never really got around too.

Do you find the jig hooks any good??

Ive never tried them

[jonnied17-2008]

I find them very useful for cased caddis patterns, I used to bend my own using kamsan hooks but these guys are better for the job. Never had one fail on me yet, I've not used them any smaller than a 12 but I've never found the need to.
