Re: Claret Tipped Peacock
Ray, maybe Hans should have called it 'Claret Tippled Peacock', hic.

Here is a source for it here in the UK. http://www.flytyingboutique.com/Store/results.asp?category=4 This is a highly recommended stockist. ;) Yes Stefan,...

Re: Lemon Sally Flymph
Thank you Lance, could not find it in my version of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary,
