Your post inspire me to tie up a batch. I've not used these for quite some time. When the last in my box got lost I just didn't replenish. I'll give 'em a go again.
That’s awesome! Normally I’m the one being inspired by everyone else’s posts!

The attached link is how I model mine. I don’t do it exactly like the video, but pretty close. I usually tie in size 14 or 16 nymph hooks.

Pretty much what I did. But I used a bead head and just a few twist of lead. I tied up the first two on size 12 hooks just to get the feel for doing it again. Instead of the gold flat wire, I just used a small gold wire. Then I went to a size 14.

I'm going to give that a shot when I start tying Stoneflies again but I'm sure my OCD will kick in and I will force myself to taper the stem side of the biot with a razor blade, LOL.
