I am flattered guys, but you really should set your sights higher than that. :oops:.

Great thread. I keep coming back here to re-read everything.

Wayne, primrose silk is very versatile. As I'm sure you can see in these excellent flies. Try it out.

Bill,
Those look great, with your own style.

I've been trying my hand at the same pattern. Here is one of the more slender ones.
Kinda looks like the mayfly in my avatar icon there in the upper right, sitting on the vise.

Lovely flies, guys. Each version would be a welcome addition to my fly box.

Lance - Is the mayfly in your avatar that little guy you photographed on William's vice in Roscoe?

A distinct family resemblance going on there, Lance. Bravo.

That's the one. You were a witness. I didn't stage it. Mr. Mayfly was starting to make amorous advances on the artificial fly that William was tying.
