That is lovely, Carl. So delicate and "fly-like". Did you do anything special to the thread to get it to shine like that?

No, it is a'natural. No wax, burnishing etc... Probably just the lighting in the shot. Says something for silk though.

Beautiful, Carl. I just can't see a trout (or a fisherman) passing that up.

This fly just glows. I really think you did a great job on it!
