Here is the Old Blue Dun pattern from ATWF with the optional starling wing. A winged Flymph.

That is a very pretty rendition. :D
Great proportions and form.
I am really liking the hook, what make and model is it? Looks old school with the barb size, but I mostly like the wire weight and the generous eye. ;)

Excellent, Carl.

Thanks guys.

Jeff, it's the older Mustad 3906. The new ones just aren't as classy.

Now that is beautiful. Very nicely done.

Heya Carl, not very smart showing the winged version. You do realize we'll all be expecting wings in the swap! :twisted: :lol:
