Hans,
Luv the play on words naming the fly ... I think, "The Regular" ..... Better's Usual :) Two great materials to work with too. That is one buggy look'in fly.

Hi Hans,
As 'Usual'(pun intended, lol), extraordinary.
Just a couple of questions if you don't mind: 1)Was the reason that you did not use an orange thread because of the color showing through when wet or that you wanted a straight light gray color when wet? 2)Do you think a full collar floats differently than the 180* wing of a usual 'Usual'? 3)What other colors have you tried for the 'Regular'? 4)How soon will it be until you tye a fly called the 'Normal'?
Using your closing phrase,
Cheers,
Allan
That would have been too much Fran :cool:Quote:

Hans,
I had thought of suggesting that name ('Abnormal') to you but, as you wrote just above, "That would have been too much" :lol: .
