Sweet fly Bill!

WOW! sure is right..........but i'm talkin' bout the photo..........man, that is krystal clean a highly detailed. Thankx a lot for shooting and posting it Bill. This particular fly is a good example of something i mentioned here the other day. Both the tail and wing/collar feathers.....have had their tips folded back and straped/locked in, when mounting the feather(s) and before wraping. i did not trim/clip them off. Each is done one at a time obviously. It's just something i like to do sometimes.
Thankx guys, glad ya'll like the fly..........
