Great flies Donald and great scans for detail. These are the kind of posts that I have no trouble tying from when I sit down at the vise.

Donald, Howdy;

Excellent set of flies!! To bad the first one's fear of the camera

Great set of flies Donald. I really like the scanned images. Lovely detailed look at their construction.

Fantastic set, very well tied and presented. You have this flatbed scanning trick sorted.

-Really nicely done, especially like Orl fly, I think it's good for grayling.
