Tim,

This a beautiful fly and well done mister. On our Poldervlieg club we had an evening with Herman Broers and we have tied with him also a sparrow:

I watched your video Hans. Very cool.

[Bear007]

Beautiful job Hans, I wish I could tie as efficiently as you do.

I wish I could tie as efficiently as you do.

What is stopping you? The basic premise is simple - no wrap unless you can demonstrate (to yourself) its purpose, and why it is needed

Turn it into a fun game - it works.
