Produce bag ribbon?
You mean it's OK to use those?
Damn. I just threw a bunch away.

No matter - you are more than welcome to some of mine







Pretty versatile stuff, actually - and the price is right.

Hans, Howdy;

Another Great looking fly and photo ta boot !
A simple question ...
The material on the bobbin in the photo of the purple Blood Orange (I love them ... to bad the season is short),
is it the netting material or ... 'just thread ' ?

Thanks,

hank

I like the subtle color contrast in the bloodsport. That ribbon and seal should be a nice translucent combo.

For some reason though, if I lost that fly on the water it would make me feel like I was littering.

Lovely fly once again Hans. Your flies are always fantastic though.

Hans do you buy your produce based on the colour of the bag?

Very nice flies. Impeccable as always.
