Those are outstanding, Otto!
I can see the makings of an Isonychia Bicolor nymph with a feather barb to mimic
the pronounced gill tufts and satae on the naturals.
Well done.

I tied this on a #15 Gaelic Syl Nemes. [/quote]

That golden/honey Badger just flows into the primrose and dubbing.
Absolutely amazing pattern, Carl!

I have an entire female Gambles quail skin that needs some attention. It's a little greasy and some of the feathers are "matted" and don't flair evenly when wrapped around a hook. The marginal coverts, both upper and lower have some hard crusty gunk left over from skinning and drying. Poin...

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...

Norm, I'm lovin' that Bergman binge you're on!
Please continue...

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.
