Beautiful! Did you dye those tippets yourself? If not, I'd sure like to know where you got them. Hint hint!

Wonderful tie, crisp and clean. Thanks for posting.

Just a point of correction - the ice dub color is officially "rusty brown". May try tweaking this fly a bit...but that means I may have to buy more materials! AHHHHH!

Beautiful fly. Perfectly proportioned, to my eyes. I love the color scheme. Great job.

Very funny. A really nicely tied brownie. I'm looking forward to the series.

Hi Ruard,
It is not dyed, but I see what you mean. I could be a little of the natural greenish iridescence in the feather or a "side effect" of the poor lighting/white balance issue I am tying to correct. Thanks!
