Excellent fly William! That could pass for numerous insects. Love the color combination and the proportions. Beautifully tyed.

Donald. That is a really nice Iron Blue. The possum looks as good a material as muscrat or mole. Thanks for posting that.

William, It is "Awesome 'Possum", I don't know if that is American or Australian 'possum.

I missed this one. Very nice subdued pattern William. reminds me of the Old Iron Dun patterns.

Nice patterns, I get a lot of use out of the Iron Blue patterns in the mid spring and in the fall .

Hi William;

I think you should call it "William's soft hackle Adams"

Nice tie!
