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. :D

Donald, Howdy;

Excellent set of flies!! To bad the first one's fear of the camera
resulted in a view of the South end of a North bound flee... ;)

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