Nice upright wings Ruard, very neat tie.
Were there any problems with the bending up of the B 175's eye?

I just heat it till it is red, let it cool down again and then you can make it straight without breaking the eye.

Eric - I received your set of flies this afternoon! Outstanding job. Everyone is going to love these flies.

General Update - There is still room for one more swapper, in case anyone wants to join. ;)

I had so much difficulties tying in the wing! The Jay wing feather was good because I could pull the fibers square to the stem and merry them with the other feathers that was not possible they would not merry again.

I think we also could show each other the failures. Sometimes I learn more of a fault then from something that is alright.

And to think I thought these flies were due Sept 1st and I was late.

I will mail shortly once it's known how many are required.
