Thanks, willowheads fly's are amazing, I would love to be so skilled in the art of fly tying one day.

i was lmao when i saw the name of your post.....but the fly came out very nice. i won't fish an egg or worm or anything like that.....to easy, litterally and figutively.....takes all the fun out of it. If you wanna go that route (not you fish, anyone).....why don't you just use the real thing and forget about it. i'll NEVER understand a fly angler who can't "get over it." If your only gratification satisfaction comes from having a fish in your net (so-to-speak), and you'll stoup to the level of using such "baits".....
well........i'll just shut up.

Nice work.....

Nice steelhead fly, fishhead! I could see a "chromer" hammering that fly on a down-stream swing. BAM...FISH ON!!!

Thankx for the kind words fish.....didn't see that before. You have everything it takes to do exceptional work. All you gotta do is practice......time at the vise is really all there is to it.....that, and being determined to grow. You'll do it, i'm sure.
