Martin, ALL the flies KILL.....one of the pics does.........(LOVE) (IT).............just kidding. i have nothin' against plain backgrounds...........it's just that they're so...............plain. But that's an each to his own type a deal..........whatever boats your float. i get bored way to easily............ aint my fault, i was born that way...........
Your tyin' here is fantastic........that killer long hackle smokes.....as do your bodies and that Seal & Silver Mink is rightous.....keep postin' pics.
i tyed a few usin' the Mink you sent already.....

i just got home from settin' up the P.A., vidoe for his tyin' demo, & the Power Point deal for Dave Hughe's program on Sat.
i was frickin' shocked to find out from our president (NAFF), today (who picked him up).....that Dave actually asked about me, on the way from the airport.........i only met the guy once 11/almost 12 yrs. ago.....

So Dave Huges is in your town. Nice. Bet you will have fun on Saturday!

He's been here since Wed., fishing with Davy Wotton..........tomorrow night we have a meet & greet pizza deal.......Sat. an all day indoor thing, and Sun. we're on the river.............gonna be a way cool weekend. This week has already been nuts.............today is the first time i've ever hadda go to town 4 times in one day....................since we've lived here................... ...............and if you wonderin' if i'm braggin' or complainin'....... ........the answer is BOUFF!

that first pic is SOOO Cool.....

Wonderful tying, Martin. And the photos are excellent also.

Beautiful tying Martin, is the heron also forbidden where you live?

Greeting

Hi

Yes Heron is forbidden,

this Heron I got legally at a fly fishing shop that has bought the inventory from an old flyshop no longer in business.

Martin

Absolutely Superb! Martin, these are all terrific. Heron herl makes amazing bodies. I can see why it was so popular.

Exactly. Heron, a new acquaintance for me, is a lovely material. Got it at "the place". Legally. Also your marabou. Soon in your mailbox. Wasn't happy with the picric dye I did for you though. The partridge became a bit too yellow I think. Excellent for yellow mayflies. Do you have it where you live Ray?

Have a nice weekend
M

Martin, please be very careful with picric.....it's highly carcinogenic(sp?).....not to mention volatile, and may be illegal to posses.
But, if you know what your doin'.....and i spose you do.....how bout doin' that little guy's hair in the pic?
