So how long must one study to gain the credentials that enable one to extract Buffalo teeth?
Not to mention that is going to take one hellova lot of nitrous oxide.
Nice looking fly and neat photo.

After a swim, that orange thread really pops out.

Wow, love it. It looks even more amazing when wet. Two thumbs up, killer fly.
