Those are some great looking spiders. I wish I had tied them, but in case anyone is wondering if they were mine, I can't take credit. I wish I could. And nice box too. That is a nice variety. I hope you get to wet those soon.

Re: Greenfinch pictures
Thanks Hans, that is an especially good looking skin. I was really impressed by the way the light played through the hackle fibers on the fly you tied. This is a good looking bird.

I liked some of the early patterns using the popper hackles and this one is nicely put together as well. B...

Re: Sylvester Nemes on Bead Heads...
beads.... I just hate casting them. I wouldn't knock em though. In a slump, you just do what you gotta do sometimes, hit bottom. It takes all the fun out of casting though.

Re: A friend's early attempts
I would be proud of that fly every day of the week. It might be altered in some way, but not improved upon. its just right.

Re: Palomino's
Ah yeah, Ruard, I forgot about those. and as a soft-hackle they make perfect sense. I tied some a bit ago as caddis emergers, and these are really nice bugs. thanks for sharing those.
