Here's another comment Tom,
After viewing your ties, I momentarily considered giving up tying

Re: The Bloody Coot
I think we could both try this lovely pattern Jeff, with your pukeko neck feathersMataura mayfly wrote:Very nice fly.
Coot, similar properties, if slight colour variation to Pukeko...... I see a "variation" pattern in the future!
