Great combination of materials, Scott. Is that wing "tented"?

Re: Sally
Trimmed out the center quill at the tip, then tied in and pulled to length; in this case, the "gathered" fibers look like a tented wing. Completely unintentional on my part; blind squirrel meets acorn.tie2fish wrote:Is that wing "tented"?

Re: Sally
Outstanding job for a "blind squirrel"... (friendly humor)
Another gorgeous fishing pattern. I will be dragging out Terry's book again this weekend.

Excellent job by the Blind Squirrel, and you for the remainder ... teamwork.
Wish we had decent squirrels out here, majority just look and act like overgrown
chipmunks ...
