That is outstanding, Ray.
The watercolor gives it a unique look too.
I have a modest collection of some special flies I really should mount.
I noticed you used a frame with an insert that allows spacing between the matte and glass.
Is that something you made or did you find that in a craft store?

Re: Golden Plover
I was on the Cookskill list for a long time. I found a whole G plover skin listed on FeathersMc for 80 smackers and pulled the trigger. It went into the freezer before I even opened it and when I did, it had been infested before I got it. Not a happy camper... Go with Cookskill but don't hold your b...

Re: Brown Owl Hackle Substitution
Robert,
I just finished reading your article and went out to the hen coop.
I picked up the double laced Barnevelder and was looking at it's rump when...
wife: RICK!
me: what?
Wife: Don't even think about it!!!
She looks close.

Re: Electronic Caddis
John Collins gave me a few of those when he first started messing around with that pattern.
I too have had mixed results but there is that occasional day when the fish can't keep their lips off them.
The Great Lakes steelhead are another story. It shines in the late fall and winter.

Re: Black Marabou midge
William, Do you apply head cement to the thread base before you palmer the marabou? I'll sometimes spin the marabou with a thread tag to reinforce it but it then becomes more of a rope. You guys are killing me. I'm trying to bang out flies for salmon camp this fall and now I want to dig out midge si...

Re: Deleware river system sulphur spider.
Now that looks like something productive in the heavier riffles of the upper Delaware
The rainbows would be all over that.

Re: Blue Olive Spider
That is outstanding, Carl.
My home waters have been pounded since the pandemic and the fish are now super selective.
I think your BOS would be a real changer when everyone else is throwing dry BWO's
Nicely done.

Re: Tups Indispensable
I would like a sample of the Valla mix too.
There are a few commercial blends I've seen but somehow, the texture wasn't quite right.
Thanks Ned.
Nice to see you back Ron.
