Re: Hare Nymphs & Flymphs
I keep coming back to Bill's box of flies, and I feel like a a completely inadequate flagellant. I mean, I see what I should be aspiring to, and yet, I fall so far from grace. Bill, I have no words... that box is like, a paraphrased vision from 'Man of La Mancha': "To dream the impossible fly t...

Forget the Maple Leaf, the Canadian flag should have this on it.

Re: Bootes Black
I know, right? I immediately wanted to run into the kitchen and fix myself an 'Old Fashioned'; muddle some fruit in a glass and pour whisky all over everything! This is a fly right out of a 'Madmen' episode (that's a compliment, Norm).

Re: Warwick
Beautiful! I wonder how or why they came up with some of these old wet fly patterns. Did they think they would just be something that attracted trout. Weren't imitations. I guess they attracted fisherman. :) They are beautiful to look at and you do a great job of tying. I enjoy seeing them. Doug J....

Re: Mystery Feather Soft Hackle
Man, that is a beautiful tie. Love the less than subtle barring on the feather. Thanks for sharing it.

Re: Biot Soft Hackles
I'm always amazed when I look at a fly that Norm tied, and I see things that I should have seen all along. Using biot bodies on my soft hackles, why haven't I been using those?
As always, Norm's sense of proportion is spot-on. Great stuff, Norm.

Re: Bream bug (nymph)
DarrellP , Howdy; Who hasn't fished for Bluegill/panfish :?: Time Honored phase for development for mankind. It's how I (sorta), learned to fly cast.

Re: Syler's Special
This fly screams northern Maine and the Allagash. Great tie, Norm.
