Tom,
Nice matching of names and colours to produce!
Very nice clean ties as well.

Izaak,
Some might say you are only feeding our habit.
But It sure tastes good.

Izaak,
Wonderful olives indeed! I have been working on a small box of soft-hackled blue winged olives inspired by the late Syl Nemes in his wonderful book "Soft-hackled Immitations". There are four patterns in his book and I have just gotten one of the four completed....starling and pheasant in sizes 12 and 14. I am a very slow tyer but I hope to have this box complete for the Roscoe Rendezvous.
I am inspired by your wonder patterns listed in this thread! They look fantastic! The B.W.O. is a magical insect causing many past and present writers to wax philosophically. It was a favorite of G.E.M. Skues and he waxed quite well on it throughout his famous career!
Yours from the den,
Dougsden
