And a fine addition it is!

I took a peak at them Donald. I have never seen anything like them. A few I particularly liked. Thanks for sharing the history, and photos of these flies. I may have to try to tie a couple of those before long!

But what did the fish think?

I've only gotten up the nerve to fish one once or twice, but they do seem to work.
