Jeff,

For a bloke like me living in a city those photos have made my day!

Very cool fly.

Looks very edible. Have you had it in the water?

Nice fly 2fish.

I have to admit I've dabbled a bit with goose biots.

What's the difference between "French" & "HUngaruian" partridge?

They are nice critters and their fur is very useful. Your garment makers also use it for blending with fine marino to make ultra soft & warm woolen garments. Great work Jeff, nothing like harvesting from the wild, even if it was in the backyard. :D It's good for us city slickers to get our hands...

Norm, I'm just wondering if the stone fly works well with fish? Please don't take offence as none is intended but although it's a very realistic fly, and I applaud your tying skill of which I have little, it seems to look a bit 'hard' or 'wooden' for want of a better word. I'm wondering if it lacks...

Very colourful flies... and the reel is a beauty. Is that the salmon reel you showed me?

Would those flies be referred to as 'lures' in NZ?

Thanks fellas. Just a question..... do you think it has too much hackle? I already know the head is too long!

Ray, that Jackdaw & Jade is like a piece of jewelry. The grees shades with the hackle contrast is almost royal.

You deserve them Dubbn, I struggle with #16 and have to use a magnifier visor else it's all blury.

You win the prize, you should be a detective!

It still needs another piece of ebony and bone before it can be turned to shape and size.
