Jerry G and Hans W;
Thank you both.
as you said Jerry;

"Sometimes though we must remind ourselves it isn't a perfect world."

But, I'd swear that gray thing with the black stripes was intentional ... (shaking his head and mumbbling into his beard as he walks to his seat in the far corner).

If I was to be over critical I would say that the heads are to big on a few of the patterns , the hackle wraps could be a bit tighter on a few of the patterns, particularly the Endrick Spider. The tail on the Hackled Peter Ross Variant is too long it should start at the first bar of the golden pheasant tippets. The Red Spider isn’t tied in the correct spider fashion, calling it a spider and dressing it as a spider are two different things. The silk is finished off in front of the herl heads on the Dark Needle and the Willow Fly instead of behind the hackle, and the heads are too big.
But apart from those few points, not bad!
