Cheese Whiz Guys....These patterns are awesome! They are so very "fishable" in all seasons and waters! In fact, I think even I could accomplish this! Mark would be oh, so proud of both patterns!

Ray,
The more I look at this fine neck, the more I am falling in love! You are one lucky duckling to find such a beautiful neck!

Dana, That's pretty cool! It's nice to know that they are still around! I miss them terribly! One of our friends here locally recorded (on her smart phone of course) a whip-poor-will very close to their house! I had not heard one of those in a very long time!

Ray, A Beautiful, beautiful skin for sure! Your post brings back so many memories of Grouse hunting in our area many years ago! I could cry out loud over the numbers of skins I literally destroyed due to stupidity and simply wanting to get the birds skinned and in the freezer or in the pot! All of t...

Again, Wow Guys! Both patterns are exceptional! That Alec Jackson hook has some good looks about it for sure! Bill S., I like the "fortified" body of your pattern. That adds a new dimension and look to your already great work in that area! You guys are making history with your contributions here and...

Wow Bill! Your version is fantastic! I can see this one doing service on all trouty or salmony waters where ever it lights! I want to try this one out on my discriminating piglets in the ponds down below! Your tying is just awesome and I am certain that Syl would be very proud of your redux! I know ...
