Beautiful flies, my money is on the middle one

All three patterns look great. I can not think of a time of year that any of those patterns would not work here in my neck of the woods.
You have great skills in tying and photography Mr. Anderson.

Awestruck I am!

Man, William, you're blazing hot this week.
I love everything about these, including your tributes to forum pals who supplied materials.

Those look killer William!
Wool makes great dubbing. And the best thing(s) about it is, it's cheap, easy to dye, incredibly easy to find and you get a ton of it when you buy it, haha.

Fantastic flies! What I like about wool is if you can get mottled yarn with different colored fibers running through it, it makes a great body just wrapped - no need to chop and dub. Quick, easy, durable, and it acts a lot like the loops in velcro.

-Really nicely done. pretty fly, and beautifully blended materials.

Absolutely killer flies! REALLY like the thorax on the second one - just the right mixture. My wife is thrilled that I asked her if we could go to the fabric store.
FANTASTIC! A fly that is good for both the fish and the marriage!
