Just gotta tie up some of those for our surfperch and now is the time. THANKS Scott......and the rest of you's guys for keeping this so interesting.

Beautiful dyeing job on the pheasant. I especially like how the contrasts developed in the collar hackle. The half-pounders should really like this fly in Autumn.

That'd be a great October fly on the Madison, maybe tied a size or two smaller to better "match" the October Caddis. (Not really enough October Caddis to make for good fishing around here in general, though the browns seem to like the pupae.)
