fishhead, Howdy;

Nice group of flys. Pretty soon and you'll have your flybox full.

Thanks, my fly box's are overflowing. I got more time to tie than I do to fish right now. That should change in a few months though.

All wonderful flies. Nice variety. I especially like the 5th one from the top.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

I'm especially digging that fifth fly. It's a nice set, and that one really got my attention. It looks like it would be a nice emerger for several different species in diff sizes.

For me, the first and second flies really scratch my itch (ie - terrific flies)! They are all lovely flies, but 1 & 2 are my favorites. Keep 'em comin'!

Very nice. Well done. I like them all-even the one with the bead.
