OMG now that was funny.

No worries, I just remembered your mentioning the little longer shank on the S10. At any rate, great looking ties lately--did you swipe that pink silver pheasant out of Sun-Ra's trailer?

Kelly, what Jon just said WAS FUNNY! Yeah Jon, he was wearing a cape made out of more than 100 of them..........rotflmao. i worked with that cat 3 or 4 times.........what a charactor........i never wanted to get to close to him though.........he practically bathed in that weird perfume.....Petula Clark oil......uptown OR downtown........ That was one hell of a strange band........they all lived in the same house in Philly.....like a little cult.
Far as the feathers go.....i got bout a half dozen different full S. P. skins, all dyed different colors, from this lady who had them at Somerset a few years ago.....maybe 6 or 7 yrs. ago actually. i'm working on getting the pics up now.

Ok, here it is.......remember, this is a fishin' fly........head kinna suckx........ Thorax is yellow Seal.........

[Kelly L.]

Mark, I really like what you did with this fly. That head does NOT kinda suck. I thought the head was good, not 100%, but maybe 94%. The colors of the fly, and flow look great. The color of the head really is beautiful too....to me, it sets off the whole fly, so a great choice there. I love the peccary. If you think the head on this fly kinda sucks, which it doesn't....you will be sick when you see mine..............rotflmbo. Both the heads stink on ice. This is a lovely fly Mark. The crest feathers really will be attractive to fish, IF you plan to fish it, which I am not sure. This fly works for me!!!

[kanutripr]

Very, very good!! I hope you plan on fishing it....soon. I can't wait to see the results.

Tkx., prolly bring it to Roscoe just for the hell of it.........we don't have Sulphers here............not that it wouldn't work as an attractor or a Caddis Pupa for that matter..............but. i don't wanna loose it or get it to torn up, at least until i get to Roscoe. My plan to use nothin' but swap flies and your flies and maybe a few of mine.......is something i'm REALLY looking forward to. That is.....if my health will allow.......which i sure pray it will. i'll know a lot more bout a month and half from now................cause i'll either be dead or doin' much better.........lmao.
"Caddis Pupa"............damn...........BINGO!...........all it needs is antenna. Tweek time..........
Watch the JazzFlies thread tomorrow......... .............later today actually. OH! Vicki.........your ONE person i expect to see up off your daireai(sp? ) participating on the Steelhead/Salmon Flymphs thread............you dig?

[fly_fischa]

I'm liking it a lot Mark. Simply beautiful
You're getting a bit hung up about the heads my friend, they look pretty darn good to me.

[tie2fish]

I can almost feel the tug as I swing that beauty over the top lip of the riff in my mind and ... fish on!!!

[willowhead]

Domo guys.....i really DO wanna fish this fly.........and just like you said Bill.....on the swing, quartering downstream.
