Re: Cranefly Larvae
One of the barn cats actually made the transition into a 'house' cat a few years back. One day I made the mistake of leaving the door to my tying room open. The moral here is: you can take the cat out of the barn, but you can never take the barn out of the cat. What a mess. Do it and take pictures, ...

Re: Gray Nymph
I love muskrat, it's wonderful stuff (I feel ancient this morning). I wish we could do better justice to the fur. What I mean is, last summer I was floating a small pond, not paddling, just floating and thinking, and I watched as a muskrat came from the bank and swam directly under my canoe. The sun...

Re: Cranefly Larvae
I'll second Ray's request. It isn't often we're presented with truly unique ties. My first thought when I saw your top fly was, Sonic the Hedgehog on a hook.

Re: Stayner Ducktails
In my next life I want to come back and be able to tie wings like Norm does.
