Nice Tye Ralph. I just watched the video and enjoyed it. Question the Brown Glass you called for the ribbing. What is that name of the materiel and where did you purchase it. I want to give this fly...
Hi Ray:

Fatman:
To answer your question both.
I fished that fly a few time the past two years in the Smokies. Fly does work well but it was another pattern called the Thunder head that really caught all the fish. Believe it or not wet flies...
Hi gerri:

As a classic wet fly tyer I encounter paired Duck and goose quills that seem all crumpled. Most people won't buy these and if I am picking paired wings quills out in person I would not either. There...
