Williams Favorite - The Ensamble

Post by William Anderson » Sun Aug 02, 2015 5:00 pm

I was having a terrible time getting my mind straight yesterday so I sat down to tie and get it sorted. A dozen of these is like a meditation. 8-)

Your timing is perfect. I just recommended the William's Favorite to Tim, for his tying class. This is such a beautiful fly.

What a lovely photograph. Like elegant ballet dancers.

Gives a new perspective to synchronized swimming.

Mine never look that good, maybe I need to start with a fuddled mind?
Elegant, slim and both beautifully tied and presented.

Beautiful ties and photography William.
I tried clapping my hands twice, looking at a bunch of wet flies sticking together.
Unfortunately they didn't turn over in unison and look well ordered like yours.
The pattern looks a top candidate for our class.
How hard can it be?

Precision personified. Order out of chaos speaks well for tying. A new therapy tool for Gab?

Yeah, order from chaos is about right. This does have a precise ballet/synchronized swimming look about it, very delicate little flies. But I tied a dozen and the other six didn't even make the first rehearsal. Unruly little beasties. :D
