Tim, this is a great fly in several sizes. Can you list your materials for this one? Thank.

Tim,

This a beautiful fly and well done mister. On our Poldervlieg club we had an evening with Herman Broers and we have tied with him also a sparrow:

see this link: http://www.depoldervlieg.nl/Content/Ver ... 0bindt.htm

Scroll down and click on the picture of the sparrow, if you the click again on the picture you will also have a big picture of the fly Herman Tied for and with us.


Greeting
There will allways be a solution.

As I mentioned before, this is one of my all time favorite flies. Definitely in my "go to"category. Great work! :D

What is stopping you? The basic premise is simple - no wrap unless you can demonstrate (to yourself) its purpose, and why it is needed 8-)

Turn it into a fun game - it works.
