Lance, I am so much in agreement with what my brothers said above! I simply cannot say it better! I am always excited to see when you have posted a pattern like the Blue Dun Hackle! It is exceptional and I love looking at construction methods of the great ones like your dad! Counter-winding....ribs ...

As Clark Griswold's dad said, "That's a beaut Clark!" It is quite fetching and impeccably tied my friend! I'd like to order a dozen please, size 16! Please keep them coming!

Wow Ray! Really cool stuff! I especially like the dubbing loop spinner! It looks really well made and finished!
You know you need to do a couple of tutorial/SBS"s on these gadgets!
I hope Santa gets you everything on your list this Christmas!
Dougsden

I agree with Fishnkilts! Awesome looking goods! Keep up the good work!

Tom,
A splendid pattern indeed! It has all the right stuff! It has to catch fish, it just has to! Of course, you have to take it for spin around the block!

Darrell,
This Carey is absolutely beautiful! I like this version! It is sooo fishy looking!

Wow! Beautiful and very "fishy" at the same time! The general frame of the pattern seems very universal (in reference to your statement about the look of the gold ribbed hares ear) and very attractive to my eye! I'm sure the fishes will agree! Beautiful work friend!

Mike and Norm,
I have to agree with you about the un-handiness of peacock sword! Norm, you manage it well and it looks good!
Doug

Beautiful as always Norm! The claret body is awesome looking along with your impeccable winging!
I look forward to your offerings every time they hit the screen!
Thanks Norm!
Doug

Dear TS!
I really like this pattern! Especially the red "over wing"! Excellent color combo as well! This is a real getter of a fly! Show us more!
Impressed in the Den,
Dougsden
