Vern-o, that's a lot more style than we're used to seeing. Very elegant. Put this on my list of things to try.

You and Hans set a high bar, but you also make very appealing.

Ha, definitely the spey equivalent of a Mepps--any trout I catch on one will have a whole lot of 'splainin' to do. :)

Thanks, since these are "trout speys" (Bartleet #10's) I wasn't sure the classic tinsel/silk tag was very practical, so I decided to "up-armor" a bit. :) Otherwise, I definitely have your Salmonfly.net flies bookmarked--the "Spades" especially are outstanding.

All way cool spey flies guys. Creation and colour, choice of materials..... each different and unique..... but I have to say I have a real liking for the one that started the thread.
