Normand,
I only see one problem with your flies you have tied…THEY ARE TOO PRETTY TO FISH WITH!!!
I really like them and the tying is just fantastic! Sure make mine, which at one time, I thought looked pretty good, but, now I guess I need to work on my tying skills!!
OK…if I EVER tied up something as good as this or the Queen of the Water you posted…it’d be a fluke. That you did 2 flies that look this perfect…you are definitely in another league, Normand! Well done! Its good to often be reminded of how we SHOULD be tying.
Beautiful fly. I wish I had that book…hehehe.
