Awesome.
One of the reasons I love doing these swaps is because I rarely tie ten or a dozen of the same fly at one time -- and there is much to be learned from that kind of repetition, it seems to me. But the other thing is, as you note, Ray, all about the little choices (and decisions) that go into the process of making a fly -- particularly a traditional fly. But that learning is quite individual -- by which I mean that it's not something we share. I was trying to do something like this in my earlier post -- and this bumps it up a notch! Great, great job.
Thanks for sharing,
