great flymphs!
I've always thought that in slower currants, a fly with out a tail will have a upward attitude or butt sinking if you look at it that way.
I the case of minnow/streamer it's not a good thing, but for an emerging bug imitation it might be adding to the presentation - to be struggling up to the surface.
Thanks for the really cool bugs,
Steve K.

Hi Steve,
I've never had a problem taking trout on tail-less flymphs, although tails may certainly be added. Many soft-hackles were tied without tails and fished upstream in the surface film.

Mark,
I don't think I was clear,
Tailless = good
I was thinking more of the dead drift below the film to a slow lifting swing approach - a al pupa.
My mind is stuck on steel, I need to trout fish more.
"upstream in the surface film."
forgot about that...
Steve

Great flies Mark! I have some open clips in my wet fly box and and some of your patterns should fill them nicely.

Hi Charlie,
I'm sure it was you at our TU meeting last evening. Great demo! If you want the exact patterns, e-mail me and I'll send them to you. That goes for anyone that would like the dressings. My e-mail is in my profile.
Mark
