Norm,
Yea! I am liking this pattern a bunch! I know of some bluegills that would eat it up as well! I need to colorize my midge box and this does the trick! Thanks Norm!

John,
Fascinating flies from an unlikely source! I am very interested in the history behind these patterns and the man who tied them! Thank you for bringing this us! You did it well as always!

Wow Alan! They are little soft-hackled bombers! I am with Ray and the others on this one! I have GOT to get this one underway! Have you swung this one in front of your friends under the waters surface?

Norm,
Wow! These are lovely and deadly effective (that's my prediction!). The colors are exquisite and oh, so well tied! Exceptional work Norm! Please keep them coming!

Norm,
I am really enjoying your contributions especially this latest round of Atherton Nymphs! I have always had a soft spot (primarily on my head) for these nymphs and dries too! Your pictures make me want to get out the fur and hackles and get cracking! Thanks again!
