A few flies from Bob Erickson

Bob sent me a few of his favorite rough water dry flies last year.  I finally got around to setting up my macro camera kit, and took a few shots today.  These are basically a combination of a Royal Wulff pattern and a Royal Coachman pattern.  If you tie Wulffs, just replace the hair wing with a quill wing.  If you fish Coachmans, just replace the golden pheasant tippet feather tail with a hair tail.  Red floss for the abdomen is traditonal, but go ahead and use any color you have a hankering for.
