{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Grasshopper / cricket patterns

Thats guys for those ideas.  I do really appreciate it.  I actually got a copy of most of those from an earlier post and have been looking forward to tying some.  The only reason I have not been yet is that I don't own any dear, elk or any other hair as of yet.  I have buck tail but I don't think it would work the same.  Let me know if you think otherwise.  One of the reasons I was looking at Davie's pattern (other than his skills at tying and how cool it looks) is that it did not need hair in it.  As soon as I can get some hair, I plan on tying a bunch of those poppers along with a realistic mouse pattern called "The Dirty Rat".  check it out.

 
 
I will tell you that I tried tying a cricket yesterday and had a hell of a time trying to put a knot in pheasant tail fibers for the legs.  That is going to take some practice.
