Re: Literal Blue Dun
Bill - You make working with size "A" thread look easy. I'm sure mine would be all lumpy, by comparison. Nicely done, my friend.

tie2fish, Howdy;
Mr. Bill, that is one very 'neat' fly indeed. What I like is to turn it around and show
us your off-side view of them. .

Re: Literal Blue Dun
Wow Bill! I really like this one! Indeed, B.W.O. Your pattern is so neat and well tied! Very delicate too! May we see more from your den?

tye2fish, Howdy;
Mr. Bill, I was attempting to say that you are kind enough to show us a fly in a right-handed tyer's
positioning (Standard display). All the while yourself being Left-handed, so you are showing us the
fly's 'off side' from the way in which you tyed it ... unless you tye as a right-handed tyer. Then all
bets are off and I'll leave with the taste of shoe leather in my mouth ... ,

Re: Literal Blue Dun
Friend Hank ~ I do a number of things right-handed, including swinging a baseball bat and golf club. Tying also falls into that category.

Re: Literal Blue Dun
That's a beautiful fly. The body is so smooth I was thinking it was a woven body. Fantastic work.

Re: Literal Blue Dun
Sweet pattern, Bill. I've looked at some of my rod building spools and thought they would be nice on a larger pattern. A #16 would not have occurred to me, mostly because I would have made a mess of it. You certainly do have a magic touch.
