    Very nice, Scott! Those golden pheasant tippets and yellow body really set the fly off. Have you tried it out on your local cutts?

    Wow. Talk about dexterity. I thought he'd use superglue to finish off the fly - when he picked up the whip finisher I was totally amazed!

    I've always followed the 'size, shape, color' mantra as a guide for tying flies in decreasing importance. Does color matter? To me, yes, but less so than size and shape. To the fish? who knows for...
