ok, here's the one on the orange Lucas hook.....the recipe would take all day to list........so i'm scratchin' that idea....... :lol: i'm putting a pic from both sides............the true color of the fly is somewhere between what these two pics shows.......i have 4 dyed Hot Orange G.P. Crest on each side of the fly arranged in various ways........and the bead is very different on each side............ ;) The fly is called, Slice of the Pie. :D

w'head, Howdy;

Great looking fuzzy bowl of Mandrian Orange jell-o.

That bead IS impressive...

Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!!! Wild fly Mark. I am amazed that you have that many materials in various shades of orange, right down the the tandem hooks. Mr Lucas is more more adventurous than I assumed. I didn't realize he offered his custom made hooks in different colors. Cool.

Mark, it's obvious where all that time and energy went. There is a lot going on and every bit of it is executed brilliantly. Worth every second.

Just when I thought you couldn't get any more imaginative, you do this. Have you no limits, man? :shock:

Much appreciated everyone.....
Vicki.....that's the pie i was thinkin' of in the litteral sense.....and then there's this other one..... :D
hank.....me no speakie Mandrian :lol:
Ray.....Ronn has been doing his hooks in colors for over 5 years i'd say.....you have to order at least a half dozen in any one color before he'll do it though. He says it's messey and with the set up/clean up time involved.......that makes sense.....fortunately he only charges one dollar extra to do them though.
William.....i think so.
Bill, the word limit (in that context), is not in my vocabulary. ;)

i'll put up another pic when we get home.....we have to go give a bunch of kids at a church, casting lessons. :roll: :lol: It's a NAFF & TU thing. 8-)

Well i figured i'd take the time to put this up before we leave.....this is the one i just did night before last. Although the pic sucks becasue the wing got a pic outta wack.........i'll have to fix that and get a better pic later.......only takes a second. Misa must of messed with it when she was taken the pic. And she let the synthetic materials that sit right up on top, fall down in between eyes. There are three different colord eyes in the wing.....the green, a sulpher yellow (in the center), and an orange on the far side. That's the bleeched and dyed stuff. ;)
