Very nice work Ken.

Nicely done Carl

Yes those are Daiichi 1480 hooks.

No found throughout New England. They enjoy the same habitat as the green moose!

Brown,Yellow, and Green Woodcock from A Handbook of North Country Flies by Roger Fogg.

You can buy designing trout flies on EBay for under 10 bucks,

I agree the procurement of quality materials is getting tough but it always was and will be so. Wings like these will never be genetically developed. Golden Plover. If you find them buy them. But I don't buy fluorescent plaid fishing shirts with hidden pockets or trout spey rods(2 handed rods to cat...

Carl beautiful rendition! Where did you find this pattern?
