Re: Purple Shade
Now I like that fly. A little darker coloured it would be great on the Wharfe in Yorkshire.
Re: Purple Shade
Hans....glad to see you're rested from your trip....and this fly shows it for sure.

I concur with Vern-o, Tell use what materials you brought back so the rest of us can drool over them.

Re: Purple Shade
Not a lot to tell. I collected some Paradise duck breast feathers and some goose wing quills which I found on the bank. That is it.
The dyed biots, of which one color was used in the above fly, actually came from a South African contact, not from the New Zealand trip.
