Very nice tie! This is an excellent beetle imitation. It's near impossible to find coch y bonddu hackle anymore. Used to be able to get badger with black tips as well, but haven't seen any of that either (have seen it in books from the 70s, but nothing in the shops).

Ah, but 'tis a fine Swiss name, Hans! -Chuck
Oh well, Americans and foreign languages... <sigh>*chuckle* too bad it is a Swiss, not Dutch, name. Ah well...
How about "vliegvissen"? That seems like a very nice Dutch word. (Thank you, Bing translator.)
Does "Weilenmann" mean "Walker" as in a cartman or wagoner who walks with the wagon instead of riding? Feel free to tell me to mind my own business. I am a curious soul but I don't wish to be rude. "Dillon" comes from the French "de Leon", of (the) lion. In particular a French knight Jean de Leon, who mightily impressed my Irish ancestors.
Regards,
Ed
