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

The flies are very nice. The hook...never seen it before, but I really like that.

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