Re: Green Caddis Hare and Starling 1250

You are soo blessed! I want to join in with Ray's wise words on being blessed in turn with goodies from other friends who tie or have tied in the past! Show us some special things in the near future but most of all, show your dear friend! I can't wait to see!!

Re: Weasle and Wallaby Flymphs

William, Nice to see you posting such beautiful, beautiful patterns! Jaw-dropping gorgeous on those beautiful Daiichi 1250's! And to think that I own some of this material that you and Ray gave to me in Roscoe! I cannot do what you do with this stuff and make it look so dog-gawned buggy! But, I am g...

Re: March Brown

Roadkill,
Outstanding! Your selection of the finely mottled or spotted partridge shows you took your time and made a great choice. The rest of the fly looks pretty spectacular too! Great Job as always!

Re: Hare's red badger

Cicvara, Yum! Absolutely stunning patterns! Some call this a "palmer" style of hackling? I just can't get enough of how wonderful this series looks. William is right! The red is awesome. Have you tired other colors? Have you felt the need to try other colors? Red is usually a great color t...

Re: Grouse and Silk/Thread Combo

William, One flash (at a time) of inspiration just shot thru my round head. What it you sent the primrose silk up the shank toward the head twisted as a seperate component? Send it lastly and twisted enough to make a more defined, almost segmented looking body. I like the subtle lines on the pattern...

Re: Clark's Dubbing Blocks
