Brilliant, both the flies and the choice of materials!
Love the descriptions of materials........ which joint did you get the Boa from....... where you been visiting? Dollar store or dollar in garter?
Nice pair of flies, hope they fish well for you.

These look great, and are inventive with materials.
Isn't it a relief to tie on those big hooks once in a while?
If I tie a few 8s or 10s then it builds up my confidence to try a 16 or 18.
Nice work.

Got that right Lance, it's nice to take off the reading glasses every once in a while....getting older sucks big time...but it beats the alternative....
