Default Did some tying today

A bit of everything today. The Skwala stone is by far one of my favorites to use.

Default Clarification please.

Is number 5 a Yellow Sally or PMD imitation? Also, is number 7 a Yellow Sally nymph? I have spent this summer researching Yellow/Lime Sallies because they seem to be underrated and overshadowed by more popular hatches. Always looking for better patterns and advice on Yellow/Lime Sallies.

Very nice ties and thanks for sharing.

#5 I use as a emerging caddis

The other nymph you mention could be used as a yellow sally or golden stone

Here are a few more to share to give you some ideas for patterns

Default Hook Size?

Nice work and thanks for the extra pics. How small do you go for Lime/Yellow Sally nymphs?

For my area I have them in sizes 8 to 16.

I have seen super small hatches and some real big ones. I find the size that is hatching and match it to one on my box.
