    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Betty, bless you a thousand times!
    From earlier posts, I made one for my wife who really enjoys hummingbirds. We have three feeders and during the summer months we often see 4-5 hummers at them frequently. They're VERY territorial.
    I used green dyed grizzly hackle for the long tail feathers, peacock colored angel hair for the back feathers, a white body with red at the throat (red-throated hummingbirds!) and wings of olive dyed partridge. Put them on a Mustad 37187 wide gap hook. A number 6 was the largest I had (our bass like it) so it was a tad small. Dear wife thought it was wonderful.
    Thanks very much.

    Betty, what a creative fly. One question though, does the glass ball effect hook-set when using the fly? HAHAHAHA.

    I love that fly, what a great ornament. I think I just found my weekend project and my contribution to the family christmas tree.
