ditto... I sure do admire your flies and too find Hughe's books full of good inspiration.

Beautiful as usual!!

Wow! That's all. Just, Wow!

Yeah, "Wow!" is correct. Noun, verb, adjective... they all work here.

Carl,

I can't decide if I've more impressed with your tying skills or your photography skills!
