Like the extremely rare money tree, Wayne has the equally rare fly sprouting magnet bushes.

Nice work Wayne. Is that French tinsel in the rib?

Good stuff Wayne. That rib is beefy, I like it.

Truly handsome flies, Wayne. They have your trademark "fishy" look to them ... a trait that I hold in the highest regard. I must ask about the name however: Is that Star Wars lingo?

Aha! Here's what I was thinking of; must have been the "Wookie-ish" coloration, as your variations certainly have the force ;) .

Wayne, these really came out great. Everything about this group looks killer. Nice pic and beautifully tied set. The tinsel and the materials combine for a very effective looking pattern.
