Wes,
Pictures can be posted to VFB, and in this case a picture would be
highly desirable.

Hi DonO,
I use Stretch-Magic .7mm (available at craft stores in the beading
department) for the wingcase. Jelly Rope will do, of course. The
cording is topped with either Liquid Fusion urethane cement or a
UV-cured product.
Recommended hooks are Tiemco 206BL #14 (for the hook-point-upward
version), and Daiichi 1150 #14 (1XH) and Fulling Mill Competition
Heavyweight (3XH, 2XS) #16 for the down point versions.
There are one or two strands of a micro flash in each tail. I use a
fluorescent yellow green in the olive version, and a bright red in the
olive-brown.
I use a matching color thread to tie down the eyes (then super glue
'em). The rest of the fly is tied with a clear polyester thread. I
use Coats Transparent, available at Jo-Ann.

Wes,
Very nice. I got one of your juice-bug damsels in the juice-bug
swap, didn't I? I need to go find it in the swap-fly box and make
some copies. Need more clear Jelly-rope first, tho.
What size were the ones you used?
DonO

Hi VFB!
Spring fishing in central Oregon was Gone with the Wind. At one
point, had scheduled eight trips, only to be able to make two, due
to wretched weather. I was getting depressed! Felt like the
whole season was going down the tubes.
Had a couple of very good days at Davis Lake for Largemouth Bass.
Then finally the weather warmed in July, and this month has been
incredible. I have mostly been fishing Crane Prairie Reservoir
for the big rainbows, and in the last 12 days, have C&R two 27",
two 26" and three more over 20".
The fly of choice was my Juicebug Damsel, both in the original
version, and lately an olive brown, copper-eyed, heavy hook
version. The light wire hooks in the original pattern were no
match for these fish, so ended up going to a 3X heavy Fuling Mills
Competition Heavyweight from the UK. That's done the trick. The
tails and abdomen are dyed Arctic Fox body fur.
Also in the third season of restoring our 1975 vintage Dodge
Maxivan camper. The camping has almost been better than the fishing.
We are tinder dry here, and fires seem to start every day, but
have been quickly extinguished. The greatest fear will be a dry
lightning storm.
Hope you are able to view the photos.
Safe travels.
Wes Wada
Bend, Oregon
