Re: Orange Otter
I managed to find Moc Morgan's book at a reasonable price, even with shipping from the UK. Orange Otter is a bit out of my price range at the present. Maybe next month.

Re: Gosling attempt
Ron, nice fly! I like that a lot! Thanks. Just one I made up before I bought E.J. Malone's book, Tying Flies in the Irish Style. I used Hebert hen cape feathers for the body hackle. Using the softer feather helped reduce tippet twist. I probably could have achieved the same result by using a heavie...

Re: Gosling attempt
Thanks guys. Ron, that definitely could be. I basically just too the recipe for this fly from Hans Weilenmann who did a video of it. I thought I may be able to use it effectively in some ponds I fish. I actually like your variant better than the original. I seem to get some tippet twist with those ...

Re: Gosling attempt
Good looking fly. The Goslings I've seen have a light olive hackle palmered over the body, trapped down and reinforced by a gold wire rib. Not sure what size you're tying on, but then ones I've seen were on a size 8. I like your hook choice, the 206BL is a favorite of mine.

Re: Golden Brown (Walts Worm)
I'll soon be able to tie my own, though no where near as nice as those. Great flies, Wayne.

Re: UV Plum Crazy
Both deserve a swim. I prefer the one with the American hackle, but that's me and I'm not a steelhead. Fish them both and let the fish decide.

Re: Golden Brown
Wayne, That is a great color! Is the hare's mask from Charlie's Fly Box? Thanks- Ken Ken, how did you know I got it at Charlies? That is awesome. Anyhow, I got to his shop and they were putting the Golden Brown and the Golden on display for sale. My eyes could not tell the difference between the tw...

Re: Golden Brown
Great flies, as usual, Wayne. That is a nice color mask. I don't remember seeing that one before either. Maybe I should stat looking. Just what I need, more stuff.

Re: Generic March Brown
That looks excellent. The hook is really nice. Do you know if it's available in the US? Hope you don't mind if I steal this one.
