Thanks Scott a very effective looking tie

Yet another great pattern from what has been a beautiful tour of classic wets. This tie looks like it would fish well. Are you using angora for the abdomen or something else?

Thank you, Scott.

Thanks, all. John, I used acrylic yarn, mixed in the coffee grinder; kinda has a look similar to the seal called for in the pattern but is a lot easier to dub with than the angora goat that I have.

Scott
