I'm not at all surprised by the quality of these flies. Thanks for sharing Ruard!

More of the exceptional work making its way from Sardis. These are wonderful excellent examples of what ought to be stock patterns in my box.
Thanks Ruard for all the pics.

Thank you, Ruard and kudos to Doug. Better and better and better ...

Thanks fellows for all the kind words and a special thank you to Ruard for posting his patterns (a gift from my den to his!) in that special way that plainly and wonderfully says....Ruard!
I have been trying something a little different lately on my patterns esp. the fuzzy ones. I have been leaving them "uncut" with all the wild hairs and fibers left to the interpretation of the viewer including our fishy friends. I am glad that you like them now, let's see what the fins have to say!
Wild and Wooly,

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

Doug - I am glad you have been able to spend time at the vice.
Ruard - Thank you for photographing these beauties an sharing them with us. I can tell you from experience that Doug's flies are very effective. Give them a try, you will be glad you did.
