My thanks to all for the positive comments.

Doug - you really hit the nail on the head with that comment......there’s a different feeling, or more of a special connection that I get when using vintage items like the old Bergman hooks, Darbee hackle, etc. it’s one of the reasons that I collect and give away those type of items...... it’s the connection!DOUGSDEN wrote:Bill,
Sorry about this.....I don't know how I missed this one! It's a beauty Bill! It has got to be a honor to tie with Darbee hackles just like when Lance sent me the brown mohair samples that belonged to his dad Pete! I was very nervous about getting it right but, I had such good guidance from both of you, then the honor part showed through! I am still humbled and I can see that you have done the Darbee hackle justice with your excellent work on this pattern and so many others! Your flies look so "alive"!
Excellent, Excellent work Bill!
