Harearresitible
Hook: Daiichi # 1550
Thread: Gray 8/0 Uni-thread
Hackle: Brown Speckled Hen, tied on leaving some room for more dubbing in front of it.
Rib: Fine gold wire
Abdomen: Hare's ear dubbing, dubbed thinly to the tying thread.
Thorax: Dubbed Leisenring fashion, of Hare's mask with guard hair, laid across the thread, thinly. This is tied on and wrapped after wrapping the hackle. While wrapping the fur is wet and stroked back with each turn.

Mark;
That fly would have been a great candidate for the last swap, IBF GRHE swap.
With all the great patterns your posting the last couple days makes me wonder if your snowed in???

Wayne,
I've been wanting to get to my vise for a while, now, but have not had the time. This past week, I made time. Now, it's back to "other things". I've got some artwork to do, so my tying will be put aside, again, for a while. In the meantime, my mind will be working, and I hope I'll see some fine flies from others to get my desire to tie going again.

It has been an amazing burst of creativity on your part, Mark -- and your tying skills allow you to present your concepts perfectly. Hope we don't have to wait too long for your next productivity spurt.
