DEAR PAT,
THAT IS ONE GREAT LOOKING PATTERN! I NOTICED THE PHRASE AT THE END OF THE RECEIPE ABOUT TYING OFF BEHIND THE HACKLE. THE LATE, GREAT G.E.M. SKUES CLAIMED THAT MANUEVER GAVE HIS FLIES "KICK". WAS THAT YOUR INTENT? THE OSTRICH PLUME DOES A PRETTY GOOD JOB AT THAT TOO! I AM VERY INTERESTED IN YOUR RESPONSE!
ALSO, YOU FELLOWS DEMONSTRATE A REALLY GREAT ARRAY OF DIFFERENT BRAND OF HOOKS. SOME THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BUT THEY LOOK GREAT. IT MAKES ME WANT TO RUN OUT AND PICK SOME UP! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
YOUR PAL,
DOUGSDEN....

Great work, Pat.
I don't recall this one from the other forum. Is it a new one? Whatever-it's got a lot of sunshine in it.

Sorry Mark I should have put (Repost). I posted that pattern a day before
we cut over to this new site. Probably just missed it is all. Thanks for the kind words though.

Gorgeous little fly/tye.....LOVE it. i'm also very interested in the why's of your tying off behind the hackle.....also LOVE those Owner hooks.....i've got a good stash of them, including the regular finish, the nickle finish, and the red ones. Great work.....
