I'm working on some early season ties for a small stream/beaver pond that I'm going to try for some brookies this spring. I like large soft hackles or very small streamers for these areas at that time of year and need to restock that box so here goes.

Thass right there good as it gets Vicki......it's stupid good. It actually exudes both British and American traits for my money. It's a frickin' outstanding fly/tye. Bout time you got back in the saddle........ya'll better shine your boots if ya wanna hang with the tripr.
