Well. I have done my best to tie passable Dark Montreals. Unfortunately, in this case, my best is dismal. They are so pathetic that I'm not even going to post a picture. I tried all month to get just one decent fly tied, but it was not to be, and I am out of time.

I tried one out in the river, and the bluegills attacked it with murderous abandon, so they do catch fish, and they are the right colors. But be warned, they are probably the ugliest flies ever tied. The wings remind me a lot of an old Alpaca sweater I used to have, that somehow found it's way into the dryer, by accident.

They will be in the mail today, unless the Postal Service rejects them as being too hideous.......
