I like the unwrapped silk. It's nice to see options on this technique and it's great to see these silks in good light.

Lance, only one brand of silk mentioned in the recipe, and used in the making of the fly: Pearsall's Gossamer.

Hans, I must be losing my mind. All I can say is that yesterday was a very long and difficult day at the college. Then I came home and finished my taxes. I should know better than to try to think or communicate after a day like that!

Hans,
So far, so good!
Thanks for asking, and for posting so many glorious examples of your art. I went back to the early days of this forum and saw that you have been a stalwart here from the beginning. Very inspiring.
