I'm blown away by your chenille work. The transition between the black and red is so uniform. I can never seem to get the transition to join smoothly like that. Do you have any pointers for achieving such nice results?
Beautifully vibrant fly.

I was about to say the same thing. Damn, Norm! That is one pretty fly and so well dressed. Kudos.
