Re: My Flies

Bob, I have 5 or 6 of your flies that you sent me in 2020 and still use them to copy your patterns. I just went through a few of the Lee Wulff Chapter Newsletters and was impressed.

Re: Golden Brown

Mike, I have a mask very close to what Wayne has... and a few others with shades of red brookie stuff.
They were liquid sauces but my wife is done with me cooking on the stove.
Take those snowshoes you have up there... and urine from a bull.

Re: Flymph - Light Fox / Hare’s Cheek

It is good to see another tyer that is not afraid to use "over-sized" hackle. When you use all the sweet spots on a cape, things can get crazy but those long sweepy fibers entice takes. I'm with DUBBN and look at those Scotch style patterns Theroe ties. Milk every feather from the skin. I...

Re: Glitzy Rabbit Flymph

That is outstanding!
Not that I need any more yarn but... where did you find that? Is Glitzy a brand name?
