Hank,

Yes, these are just one-offs. I'll try some of them out on the water and see how they do though.

Stellar! As pretty as that fly is, I'd still fish that with confidence. Great design.

Izaak, Howdy;

That's amazing work for one-offs... Takes me a week of fumbling
around to get the basics working. Like for this last swap, I must
have chopped off maybe 2X the amount I handed in just getting
the technique down for each step.
Clearly, you've been at this for quite some time. You do with these
small flys what our friend willow-head does with his 'Jazz-Flys' ... good
solid art...
Don't have a hat on my head so...it must be off to you...
