Very nice flies. I like how buggy the march brown looks.

Donald,

I'm gobsmacked, Mate. Those are all excellent dressings and the photography is superb. Thanks also for the recipes for those wee flees. I'll be adding a few of each to my fly boxes. Very well done, Donald.

It is very good seeing the ruffed grouse being put to work... Nicely done.

Donald,
The flies and the photography are beautiful.
Feel free to have that coffee table book published any time. If you're afraid you have too many patterns, you could always release a second volume (and a third, and a fourth, etc..).


Thanks,
Ed

The March Brown and Greenwell Brahma are my favorites of the bunch. Excellent work. I posted this yesterday I think, but now it has disappeared. So this is a repost. Donald, I always enjoy looking at your flies. Outstanding work.
