Hellgrammite ( Ruben Martin Biot Version)

[Gene Fisher]

I tried this version of a Hellgrammite. Quite the task and somewhat pleased with the result. I've got most of it figured out except the biot. I used Turkey Biot but maybe the wrong side. I should have used the leading edge side, that would have produced better results. I try another few with some adjustments. Can a Menominee Smallie featuring this Hellgrammite be in my next picture? Fingers crossed.

Much better second try. I need to tie in the biots just a bit shorter.

Impressive looking bug. I would say, that should catch fish.

Thank you.
