I can stop any time I want. Why do you ask? :lol: (When you start choosing materials based on their "pun potential," though, it might be time to seek out professional help.)

As you might expect, this is an exciting tie for me to see--love the pixellated look of the guinea hackle, especially. I'll definitely look forward to hearing how these fish. :)

Good lord, I stepped away for a couple days and the creative flood gates have opened. I'll never get to comment on all the amazing stuff that has been posted. You folks have been very busy.

Bill, it's just electric enough to be dangerous. I'm not familiar with the braid you used. What is it usually used for? Nice work with that hackle too. Pixellated is a nice way to describe it.

I just love the way red and purple go together. Beautiful fly. Reminds me of a Jolly Rancher candy for some reason. Mmmm...
