John,
Your boxes look like bins in a fly shop! They look great! Can we come to your shop if we get low on certain patterns? Have you tied commercially before?

John,
You are keeping the spider tradition alive with your unique looking pattern! I can see where you would not have to change flies as often with this one! You would have it covered from the gloaming until way after dark!

Bearbutt,
You made me laugh with your comments about gathering bullock hair and squirrels! John, a very interesting looking squirrel dubbing in your picture! I'll have to check that brand out! It is such a versatile dubbing!

Wayne, Ray's right! Yours is an impressive looking pattern! There are a bunch of versions and/or interpretations out there of this noble fly and yours is destined to become a classic!

What Ray said John! So astonishing to look at! Thank you for sharing this treasure with all of us!

This is so cool! I read and understood the river orientations and enjoyed the history of this fascinating pattern!
Thanks Ray! And, thank you Ruard for making us aware of this article (I assume this is how it came down?)!
This is fascinating stuff men! Please keep us fed!

Joaniebo, Wow! These are beautiful and would definitely reek havoc in my neighborhood (Bluegills mainly)! I like what is done with the feather tip (it becomes a wing) and, at least to me, the way it looks! Using the filmy, base feather is not new but, you have done a terrific job in executing it on ...

Dave,
Now, that's a pretty interesting looking fly! Yes, a series of flymphs end to end! I like this! We gotta know how it's linked (hinged?) together!
Thanks for bringing it to us friend!
