Very nice Ray, you've been doing the most innovative fly dressing I've seen for
a long time, keep up the good work.
Has Kelly seen that Alexandra Killer, she is very fond of dressing Killer style flies.

I am very sorry. I have been way way behind on everything. Ray Ray Ray....what can I say. The first fly here was a beauty. Very cool. The 2nd fly...................
RAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.....My eyes nearly bugged out of my head. I cannot tell you what eye candy that fly was for ME. I absolutely ADORE, you hear me....ADORE KILLER STYLE FLIES...RAYYYY............YOU KILLED THIS PATTERN FOR ME... I mean you knocked it so far out of the ball park, nobody will ever find that ball. This was one of the best flies I have seen since I don't know when. Ray, you know I am a fan, but that was just plain ridiculous it was sooooo GOOD. Thank you for blessing me with that photo. My word, I can't even think of the right description to tell you how I feel about this fly.

Thanks for the encouragement, but wait until you see what a mangled mess I made out of Bob's Alexandra soft hackle challenge. I got my butt kicked on my first attempt. I need to rethink the design and try it again.

I guess I don't know about this. Do you have a link?

Kelly - Earlier in this thread, Bob (redietz) suggested that I try tying an Alexandra soft hackle. I tried and fail in my first attempt. I need to keep trying until I get something I like. Then I will post photos...

Oh, I see. I am about to go blind. I have looked at so many threads trying to get caught up, I feel a little punch drunk......lol. (and no, I have not had a drop of anything in the adult beverage category...I am just tired) Well if that one didn't make you happy, I cannot imagine what you will come up with next. Wow. I can hardly wait.
