What a great line-up of flies. Will the real Iron Blue Dun please stand up.

Dennis,

Just lovely. I posted over on UKFD about them too. Still can't make up my mind which I like best.

DEAR SCOTFLY,
GREAT LOOKING IRON BLUES! I LIKE THE LOOK OF THE KAMASAN (SORRY IF I SPELLED IT WRONG?) HOOK. VERY CLASSY! I HAVE USED THE IRON BLUE FOR ALOT OF YEARS AND IT IS EXCELLENT. THE TOUCH DUBBING METHOD LOOKS GREAT! ONE QUESTION. WHERE'S THE TAIL? I USUALLY BRING JUST 3-4 WISPS (WHISPS?) OF WHITE.....MARABOU OR ANYTHING SOFT (AND NOT TOO LONG)TO THE HOOK IN KEEPING WITH THE ORIG. RECEIPE. I THINK YOURS LOOK COOL WITHOUT THEM. GOOD JOB!! FORGET THE TAIL QUESTION!

P.S. TRY THEM ON TMC 102Y'S. THIS PUTS THEM UP NEAR THE TOP IN EMERGER FASHION AND QUITE DEADLY AT THAT POINT OF THE DRIFT!
Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
