Re: Red Fox Squirrel Flymph

Several months ago, I tied a few of the RFS nymph and gave away most of them to some friends. i think I have only 3 or 4 left. Needless to say, there will be more in my fly box before my next fishing trip.

Re: Royal Charlie

I also was impressed by Rob Smith's video and tied a few RCs. Haven'd fished them but maybe next season.

Re: The holy grail!

Since most folks here use a handle rather than a name I'll assume it's for anonymity and not name drop....but a HUGE thank you to the gentleman from the group that sold me the holy grail of hen hackle, a light honey dun!

Sorry, no light hare's ear. Seems like most of the extra dubbings I've gathered over the years have been dyed / darker colors as (in the past), I've often used light / dark Hareline hare's ear and / or picked the fur off of several masks.
