norm, Howdy;

Dang, sure do enjoy seeing what ends up in the jaws of your vice!

Noticed you've been taking a few days off lately, finally getting

Gorgeous; this will work everywhere up here. I steal so much of Norm's work I feel like Edwin Rist.

Oh, I am definitely stealing this pattern. I bet the browns in the Poudre River will love this fly.
