I love these old BC patterns. They still work.

I'm liking the two color bodies, Norm. Like the Angel Child, I'm stealing this one as well.

Norm,
I am in total agreement with Ron on this one too about the two colored bodies! The two colors come together as if you had painted them on the hook shank instead of dubbing them! Amazing!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

Yup. This one is getting stretched out to streamer proportions for ice-out. Nice tie, Norm!
