Carl, when can we expect a video series of these being tied? They caught my son's eye when I was viewing them last night. He loved them as well. The flies and photography are too cool!!!!

Re: Gold Stork Variation

No worries Bill, that's a beautiful tie. I have been pulling flank feathers from a bunch of Ducks my friends have taken over the past year or so. I'll put some photos up of flank feathers from what I've gotten recently from them.
