I didn't understand the name of the fly until I read the recipe (Faux77 = Chadwick 477). Pretty clever name. Great fly, Bill.

Hank - In this case Vicki is using "GP" as shorthand for Golden Pheasant. The golden colored feathers are from the crest on the head of the Golden Pheasant.

Now that is simply stunning Mark! If I had to describe this fly in one word it would be "Joyous". There is a lot of love in this fly.

Boy oh boy, that is a pretty fly!

Lovely fly Mark. That's getting awfully close to a traditional Maine streamer (metal eye and the streamer wing & cheeks).

Fetching fly buddy! I am a big fan of Mr. Nemes's flies. I am sure he would be delighted with your version of his fly.

Holy cow! They are stunningly beautiful flies Carl. Inspirational as always...

I love using peacock sword fibers as a material. This gives me another very strong reason to use it again. Beautiful fly Carl.
