Re: Rhyacophila

What is this 'vacuuming out your truck' event that you speak of? It has the faint wisp of heresy to it. That was after he used a snow shovel to clear all the fast food wrappers off the floor of the truck. I would be checking that vacuum bag before disposal as I'm sure there would be at least a doze...

Yes! The first thing I noticed was how the bars in the wood duck aligns with the alternating
black and white floss body. Like an extension. Masterful work for sure.

Re: Mickey Finn Feather Wing

WOW... That looks nothing like the hair wing Mick Finns I learned to tie a lifetime ago.
Nice job on those married slips!

Where did you find that bleached mole or did you give the skin a bath?
Mike over at Badger Creek had bleached and dyed mole years ago but I haven't seen any since.

A huge Longhorn with some of the biggest dubbing spurs I ever saw.
Foghorn with a bad attitude but he did protect his girls.

With all the feathers and fur on the ground, I think the old rooster actually enjoyed rippin' into some fox butt.

Re: Historic English fly tying styles.

That plate would look great framed... and a theme for a future swap.
Thanks for sharing that.
