Three very nice soft hackle Steelhead flies Donald.
I am really liking those hooks your using and will have to get me some, love the wide gape. If I can tie anything on them that will do the hook justice like the fine examples you show here........ well that is another story.

Life has been a bit crazy lately, so I am having a hard time keeping up with the forum. I just saw these this evening and had to compliment you. Great flies Donald. I've been a fan of your flies for a long time, for reasons displayed above. Please keep posting these beauties.

Thanks Ray,
I'm glad you liked them, they will be my last for a little while.
My eyes have started bothering me again, I'll have to rest them.
I'll keep a lookout on the forum. TTFN

Please take care of yourself, Donald. Although we will all miss your wonderful postings, it's far more important that you do whatever is necessary to get your eyes healthy again.

Donald, you should be listed in the Scottish national treasures.
