Ditto what Hans said.
Makes me wonder what, in this forum, is the maximum number of birds anybody has tied onto one hook. No doubt one of Willowhead's jazz flies would take the prize.

It took me a minute to understand the name of the fly. Funny!

Great fly...

Izaak,
Ah....I get it now! Great name! Very creative! And the flies aren't bad either! They are super and so is your tying and creative genius!

Lance - I don't know if this qualifies as the most birds on one hook, but I posted a pattern quite some time ago called a "Four Bird Soft Hackle". The pattern was made from starling (hackle), ringneck pheasant (tail, back & wing case), turkey (abdomen) & peacock herl (thorax).
