I know, this isn't my typical rib technique. Its a length of silk left long over the bend as silk is wrapped up the shank instead of down. Blame it on youthful rebellion. It's anarchy.

Grouse and Orange 1530
I sometimes just marvel at some materials. These together are just a joy to hold.

I'm pretty sure Jean Valjean would approve; I know I do.
Some of the same morons who throw their trash around in National parks also vote. That alone would explain the state of American politics. ~ John Gierach, "Still Life with Brook Trout"

Re: Grouse and Orange 1530
Youthful rebellion and a bit of anarchy is what's kept civilization on track for many a millinium..... 
.....not that we've really made that much progress yet............ 
but at least that's a step in the right direction..... 
The **** will never be completely right til we protect all our watersheds.....have a good Jazz club in every town and city.....and stop wasting time with bullcrap and get fly fishing/tying, and listening to the messege.
Btw, the fly KILLS! 
p.s. i'm working on a way to mail your fly.....

Thanks all for the comments.
I'm not sure which I would prefer, having the spirit of Jean Valjean, or living my life based on Tom Waits songs. Either way is trouble.
