novabass, Howdy;
If you are thinking you may get a disparaging word or two, I think you came
to the wrong place. Absolutely beautiful!

Yea, you're hooked.
This is just a good looking fly. I like the combo of materials you used for the body.

Paul this is your best yet, no doubt. It is well thought out, proportioned and constructed. I think your choice of materials and colors need a two-thumbs up.
Thanks for sharing.

Paul, I think you would do very well with this one. I know I would go to it right away out of the box when scanning what's available. Highly mobile in every way and very nice color coordination. Beautiful tones. A beaut of a flymph. You're really getting the hang of the pre spun bodies. This has excellent color/mobility/hydrofuge properties and underbody. I am looking for something to offer in the way of suggestion, I just don't see it. I agree, your best work and some of the best I've seen anywhere. Glad you're enjoying the block.

Wow guys, thanks so much!
I tried some other materials when working out the body on this one, that didn't come out right. I finally arrived at this combination and it seemed to match what I was looking for. I'm very happy that you guys like the fly so well.
William, I love my block! Love it!

It's hideous I tell you. Hideous. Any of them you have already made, you need to throw
in a
box and send way
down here to Texas.
I really like this color combination and the taper on the body.
