This thread is becoming my new best friend. The next few March Browns will have a fine gold wire rib - I don't like the way tinsel (no matter how thin) matts down the body.

I can feel my willpower slipping with each mention of this thread. When I noticed that you were using claret, it's becoming irresistible... (MarkR - you can make fun of me if you want).
Rodger - That's a gorgeous fly & photo. Beautiful presentation.

Ray - I did order some more of that thread. And, yes, I had to wax the kitchen floor to earn the money.
By the way, forgot to mention the head on this one was coated with Red Loon Hard Head. The Claret Griffith thread is not as bright, and a darker color. Next one I think I'll use a clear coating to let the thread show thru.
