Pretty fly, Hans!!!!! Very nice!!
Work is something for people that don't fish.
You do beautiful work Hans! Where do you find the inspiration to do such nice trout flies? When I lived in The Netherlands (Eindhoven about 20 years ago) I never say anything I thought might be trout water.

Hans, I hope you don’t let fish mess up those beautiful flies.
As often as I can manage! LOLOriginally Posted by deepcreek

Cliff,
As you certainly saw this country lacks gradient, and as such has very little running water other than the major rivers. I am a stream addict so for most of my fishing I have to travel - nearby places like in Germany, or the UK, or further afield.
