Ooooo...great flies Donald. I especially love the Tenkara fly. Very cool.
How do you like the YLI silk?

I had a problem with these flies, they look better 'in hand' than they do in the photos.
I am having problems loosing the brightness of the colour, I may have to revise the lighting.

Thanks Kelly, Hank and Ray.
The YLI silk is very useful, huge range of shades, many that are not available anywhere else, but I still like to use Pearsall
for a lot of trad recipes.
