Simple and simply beautiful little flies. I love the vise your using Ray. It's my dream vise and I plan on buying one when I win the lotto. :D I've got a friend down in Machias who has one; he doesn't like it, or use it. He won't get rid of it either. He's a pretty big guy, enough so I don't want t...

Oh my! That is as great a winged wet as I have seen. Awesome! You are really getting the winged wet fly dialed in! Beautifully done. ;) Thanks guys. I have Ray Bergman's book, Trout and also the book, Forgotten Flies that has his flies in bigger photos. My plan is to learn as many as I can, or want.

Nicely done.

Mercy! I'm in awe. What a lovely pattern.

I tried for two days to log in so hopefully it will work this time.

That's a sweet looking fly. Forgive the pun.
I'd like a dozen of those to decorate my tree with for next year.

Thank you all for the encouraging words. It took me a while to marry the wings due to my sausage like digits so I tried different ways to do it and haven't found which way I like best yet. Winged wet flies have always intimidated me, and now that I can do it (most of the time), I never thought I cou...

I wanted to expand my horizons and try to marry wings. This is my first attempt at it and I have to say I'm very happy with myself. But there's always room for improvement and I'm very open for any advice. I really like my Queen's Guard fly, but it looks too much like another fly that already exists...

Truly an inspiration for me. Everything on that fly is perfection.
