A very nice fly William.
Possum is one of my favourite dubbings.

Donald. That is a really nice Iron Blue. The possum looks as good a material as muscrat or mole. Thanks for posting that.

William, It is "Awesome 'Possum", I don't know if that is American or Australian 'possum.

Hi William;
I think you should call it "William's soft hackle Adams"
Nice tie!
