Astonishing!

There's something deadlier than moth balls that used to be available from Wal-Mart but I can't remember then name of it. Anyone ...?

This is really fine!

Masterpiece of our genre.

Hi tie2fish, I'm going to a fly shop tonight to get some purple Ice dub and floss to tie that pattern. You did yourself proud with that fly, hopefully I will be able to replicate a similar fly just not as well tied. Would you mind sending me your recipe, please? Thanks, Tim ~ I have edited the post...

Here's the Madison Cabbage variant pattern (flymph style) that was responsible for the largest brown I took out of the Madison River during our Yellowstone rendezvous few years back ... Hook: Vintage Mustad 94842, Size #10 Thread: Pearsall's Gossamer #13, crimson Hackle: Collins Hen Cape, black Tail...

I generally use hen grizzly mixed with another color to produce a variegated effect.

What a lovely way to remember Mark. Thank you, REE, for for the sublime tying and excellent photos.

Lovely fly and great photo!

The photo is there, REE, but it's the thumbnail. You need to left click on it in imgbox to get to the "full size" version and then click on "Save image address" for that.
