Skill's, Skilz...... whichever..... this guy has got 'em in bucket loads.
Great form, materials choice, colour combinations and an all around fish catching fly. Great stuff.

Agreed. Ray's flies are all 1st class.

My tongue-in-cheek remark was about how popular the phrase "mad skilz" is becoming with the younger generation. (I personally find that spelling extremely grating, and assume that Dubbin does as well.)

Oooooh, that's fancy. High style. It's a nice application of the coating on the body. I would imagine it would take some practice, or just some mad skazizzle. You've got em.
