Nicely done, Norm. That Mustad Heritage is a seriously wicked looking piece of iron.

Norm,
Oh so well done friend! The copper bead looks better on this pattern than a brass one! I agree with Mike! Serious Iron! Beautifully designed!

This is my first time seeing the heritage mustads but I did see they did my favorite old hook for spiders the 3906 in the heritage. Now I'm going to have to start hoarding those! Wicked is right! Great fly
