Hans,
Beautiful fly in every way.
Nice to see you using the Grip again. The more I use that hook, the more I love it.
Have you made a video showing how to make a barb collar? This is new to me, which is just more proof of how much I have to learn.

Lance,

I am considering doing a clip on this pattern, perhaps this evening or tomorrow. If you cannot wait 8-), the same collar technique used can be seen in the Lava clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHBS8xXKm9Q).
