[willowhead]

i was kidnapped Donald.....by fly fishin'/tyin' shows.....alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll over the U.S. and a few other countries. i've just been constantly on the road. i know i still owe you for a book you sent me bout 3/4 years ago. don't worry, just send me a snail mail addy and i'll send the money. i tried to find you and or your address many times but had no luck. oh well.....i'm sure you realized that as long as i owed you, you'd never be broke. easy..... mark.....

This one is also on a Jens Pilgaard hook.....love this bead.....can't remember where i found it.....i buy beads alllllllllllll over the place..........on the web, in countless bead shops all over the country and beyond.

[willowhead]

i think this one is on a Reinhold or a Lucas hook.....i'll have to take a look and see. Beautiful little bead.

This is on a Jens Pilgaard Artistic hook..... i palmered a dyed Grizzly hackle through the body from the third turn of ribbing, and i used 4 Chinese Pond Heron feathers for the collar.

[willowhead]

This one's on a Reinhold hook. Chinese Pond feathers again and a Trag wing, with Japanese silk floss body, and a palmered hackle. Holographic tinsel tag.

Couple shots of the same fly on a Jens Pilgaard artistic hook..... i used Japanese varigated silk for the long extended tag, which i bought at Walmart.....GREAT Stuff. It changes color every few inches.....i've got it in bout a half dozen different color schemes. Just go to the sewing department at Walmart.....

Simple little fly with a cheap bead that has little windows/mirrors all round it. Wing is Coc-D'-Leon.....got the bead(s) at Walmart.....always remember and NEVER forget thatyou can find GREAT "Stuff" at places like Walmart, Target, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's, Dollar stores, antigues shops, flea markets, Michael's, and a huge variety of places other than on the internet (where you can never handle the product first), and in fly shops (where things are always over-priced), etc. Just like in the tyin' itself........USE YOUR IMGINATION. After-all, you got one.

[willowhead]

Gotta get cleaned up and ready to head for the city again..........later gators. More, after some more recouporation.

OK Willowhead - you've asked for it...

cheers,
Andrew
*That one is for Otter, if he's reading...

Nothing there a that a good sharp scissors couldn't sort out Andrew . A couple or large jungle cock eyes to close gap between wing and body and I would happily fish it on my favorite sea trout estuary at the start of a coming spring tide.

It's yours!
