Beautiful, Norm. Reminds me of some of the full feather wing bass flies from days gone by.

Ron - Agreed. Reminiscent of MOM flies (Mary Orvis Marbury).
Norm - What is your process of searching and selecting patterns to tye? Your range is dazzling…
PS - do you have any idea what the name means? (Google search pending…)

i do have an extensive library of tying books to choose patterns from
i get patterns from pinterest and instagram
google has a bazillion patterns doing a search and i bookmark all of my search results of flies i want to tie.
youtube videos have a lot of great fly patterns
i like searching for older not commonly known patterns and learn how to tie them

Norm,
Astounding! Your Library is quite impressive too! So varied!
