Re: Hot Steel
Very cool Hans. That hot spot certainly catches the eye, if it can on me then the fish should have no problems!

The Breast Cancer Awareness version. I only had Xmas flash in strong pink, and some of the color came off as I wrapped the rib. Ah well… you still get the idea.

Re: Hot Steel
That is a shame she lost some colour. Neat idea to support a cause through your ties though.
Over here blue ribbon is a symbol for prostrate cancer awareness...... so the hot steel blue has a cause to follow as well!

Re: Hot Steel
Nice ties!!
A different background might make the Hot Steel pop a little more as the blue did for the pink. Blue has been a good color for some winter flyfishing near me.
