John,
Thanks for the response. Leading question - a while back you mentioned purchasing embroidery yarn and a starling skin. I don't think it'd give away the dressing for the cricket if you said they were related. Both very useful materials, by the way.
'Nother question - Jeff made a couple comments noting the effectiveness of soft hackles in many applications, it was also relative to the W.Cricket. These are wonderful clues! I usually don't like mysteries but this one's intriguing.


Jeff - PLEASE!!!!!!!! Folks on the Fly Tying Board (especially me) are filled with anticipation - it's becoming hard to breathe!

Many thanks in advance.

Bill
