Folks I just took delivery of some of L.F.'s PB and it is some beautiful stuff. The color has such translucency you would not believe it.

Hi Lawrence,

Those are really nice, thank's for posting them here! I still haven't gotten around to dyeing anything that I have with my picric yet, but it's getting much closer than it was a year ago.

Regards,
Mark

DANG Laurie.....bout time you posted some pics. Thankx Bro! GREAT Flies Lawrence. Best wishes to you and all the family. Misako says hi.
Dog, i'd believe it.....i've had it in my hands.
.....for anyone who might be wondering.....yes, Lawrence tyes left handed......thass prolly why he's so good.
p.s. Laurie, how did the radio show go? We just got the Polish Fly Fishing Magazine today.....they did an article on Misa with really cool pics.

They are beautiful. And nothing wrong with being left handed....

They are absolutely beautiful.....i just thought you might like to know why the flies in the pics were facing left. We have a plate of 9 of Lawrence's Irish Mayflies on the wall in our family room. BEAUTIFUL piece. i think more (framed collections), are available.
Btw.....i'm semi-ambidexterous.....i do many things left handed, and many other things right handed.....some things either way. i tye right handed, and while i can cut with scissors right handed, i naturally do it left handed. Go figure.
