Thanks, guys. Boy Doug, you sure know how to polish a "like". Atherton had some great stuff. Too bad he left so soon. I will try some Light nymphs too. Thanks.

Thanks Ray. Yes, seal except the blue is mohair.

hehe.

I think he would have liked flymph fishing.

Love the colors you chose Ray! Should be a great pattern for you. It is very similar to Syl Nemes' "Dean's Black" pattern. Peacock abdomen, silver rib, black wool thorax and partridge dyed dun hackle. Great minds think alike!

I don't mind given you a LYFT!

I have a couple boxes of the 7947's. The shape is similar, but the Gaelic definitely has a more refined figure.

Beautiful! I can see a lot of engineer thinking in this design. Can't beat those spectral dubbing mixes.

Beautiful fly!

I have never heard of part of a wing feather referred to as herl but Bill is correct.

Shows how much I use them.

If someone said to me "turkey herl" I would immediately think the barbs of a tail feather.
