Wayne - This fly looks even more impressive when the picture is expanded. I'm thankful that John sent you these hooks. Handsome dressing.

How about calling it an "M80". That thing looks like it would be as effective as fishing with dynomite. I think it would be a blast!

Fantastic fly & photograph!

Interesting design. The banding has me thinking of a number of possibilities. Thanks for the inspiration.

Carl - Are you hosting that PDF file? I have another version that may be of use to people. If I sent you the PDF file, could you host it? I can't upload a PDF file to this website.

Oh, that is cool! I really like the blue tinsel tag. Excellent hook choice, as well. Love it...

Very fishy (sincere compliment) fly, Mr. Anderson. I like with you did with the ribbing. I like how the spiraling gradually increases along the body. Lovely effect.

Gorgeous fly, Hans. Tyed with your trademark precision.

Now I need to get me some "glassy dun" hen hackle...

Tom - You're a hoot! I am so glad you joined this forum. I genuinely enjoy you posts & humor. Priceless...

Sweet sweet fly, William! Love it. Thanks for the tutorial.

Interesting story Wayne. Beautiful fish. Looks like a great day.
