Thanks, but I was thinking the same thing. You beat me to it and nailed it. Great minds... :D :D

Here are a couple Flymph patterns I was playing with using the seal.

These are classic Mustad 3121 hooks from Carl Sanders. Much thanks. CdL medium Pardo Tails and same seal Blend.

And a slightly darker blend, more Cinnamon, less Tannish Yellow.

I made a go of some Tups patterns, but nothing that I could photograph. The seal was kicking my butt.

-This is really beautiful, well done.
-The Mustad hook, actually contributes to the fly. With us it is impossible to buy
