Re: Furnace and Harpo
Great looking fly. Like the hook colour- who needs gold tags with nice shiny hooks like those? 
Nice selection of materials throughout and well executed. Top marks.

No, I'm not that patient! Hadn't really thought about it till you guys mentioned it. They are kinda bright, aren't they?

Wow is right! Beautifully done and a killer pick. Your flies always do it for me. Another beautiful combo.

Re: Furnace and Harpo
A very nice fly, should catch fish.
Nice picture, except I find the background too fussy.
With my eyesight I have a problem with backgrounds.

Both this fly and the photograph are simply outstanding!
