Hans,
"Prince"...or whatever the artist is currently known as (and not to be confused by the nymph of the same name) would love that! What's next? Could it possibly be the Raspberry Beret?
70's and 80's music trivia flies...
Always innovative-and extremely well done! Thank you, sir!
Best,
Tim

Wild! I really dig this color scheme. I am not familiar with "Glister". What is it? Is it a dubbing, or a strung flash material?

It is a dubbing.

They are very similar. Nice fly Hans! I may use one or the other for a sub.

Kelly,
Lady Amherst is white and will take purple dye well. GP tippet orange base will not get you a nice purple result.
Cheers,

No, I meant for something else. I have a nice dyed orange, and a red Lady Amherst tippets. The rest are white. I could use a marking pen. I have regular Golden Pheasant tippets, but they are faded out. There is a fly I am working on, and I would be able to sub the bright orange LA tippets, and I think it will barely be noticeable, but a definite improvement, because of the brighter color. I am a huge fan of Lady Amherst, and Golden Pheasant tippets.
