tie2fish, Howdy;
Mr. Bill, your morning tieing sessions are great to behold
,
.
Instead of feeding your trout with a sliver spoon you are feeding them
silver hooks with fancy hackle very well tied and photo'ed as well ...
Thanks.
hank

Nice slender dressing. Looks like just the ticket for picky trout.
Keep 'em coming Bill!

What a nice example of both of these materials. The #20 waxed looks really nice, not unlike primrose waxed with dark wax. Another reallynice combination. Would have been a nice bwo pattern to try in Roscoe a couple weeks ago.

A delightful combination. That body looks to be near translucent, wonder what it might look like dressed upon a black hook.....

That is a very nice spider. So is the other you posted.
Gambel's Quail may be a bit exotic for MD,
but not for NM or AZ.
