Some wet flies to try

Just a quick tying post.  I recently read Dave Hughes article is Flyfishing and Tying Journal entitled "Evening rise and the wet fly".  Being a fan of wets, I decided to tie a few and try them out.  I was particularly interested in Hughes' approach to using the March Brown flymph when fish are taking rusty spinners since it can be challenging to fish small rusty spinners in low light.

Here are the march brown (rusty spinners) and winged hare's ear (caddis) that Hughes describes.  I used brown squirrel dubbing on the march brown to give it a more rust colored body.  The bodies on these flies are dubbed with a dubbing loop to provide for a rough body and to allow the thread and dubbing to work together when wet to give the desired color.
