All yours. Enjoy

If no one takes it by tomorrow evening....

Thank you. I'm not in that far yet. I hate to have a good ending ruined😎

Mark, The patterns and Mr. Atherton are pretty interesting in their own rights. The kindle edition is black and white. I'm digging those pictures. I like how the bodies are tied or at least shown. He was a big believer in those variants and spiders. Fly types that don't, at least in my opinion, get much thought or use nowadays. I'm going to add a few of them to my arsenal. I'm also going yo see if I can get my bodies closer to what's in the picture as well as work on my proportions. Thanks for this. Michael

I think the "new" rules really open this up to everyone. Thanks for thinking and posting Norm and thanks trouttramp for accepting the revisions

An attempt at an Atherton #1 Hook: Fulling Mill 5050 size 16 Thread:Tan Tail:Light dun hackle Wing:Light, glassy dun hackle points Body: Pale cream fox-belly fur Rib:Narrow oval gold tinsel Hackle:Light cree or pale ginger and light grizzly mixed

We have rules here too. In the thread above this one. Caveat emptor. Always

I'm in. A week sounds good.

Better late than never. Thank you to all the vets and their families

Only 300K? Sounds like a bargain. Hahaha

I'm pulling for you my friend

Thank you

As chugbug27 said, ditto. Got a recipe for that fly?

+1 on the cree.. Nice looking ties Mark

Nice!!

Was just noodling things.😉

Can you do other colors, like gold and then you can call 'em....Gold Fingers. Glad you're doing better Mark!

@SalarMan and @chugbug27, Thanks guys. As George said though, we're our own worst critics

As usual, you all are rocking it. From the muskrat thread. An attempt at an Atherton #5 Thread: Veevus 16/0 olive dun Tail: a mixture of red brown and grizzly Wings: Wood Duck Body: Hare’s ear, using the short specked hairs on the ear and the pinkish tan hair at the base of the ears. Rib: Narrow oval gold tinsel Hackle: Dark cree Hook sizes: Standard dry fly, 18 – 10 this is a 16

Welcome back George. Looks to me like you haven't missed a day. Another beauty from you.

I'm on it. Thanks

I know what you mean, same here

That's one tough question. I really like SemperFli kapok but I'm not sure if it's my favorite

Norm, I heard Charlie Craven say that's how the pros do it. That way they don't have to find the end of the wire every time they need some. 😉

Glad you like 'em. I did some reading about Mr. Atherton. I really like his tying philosophy, and even though drowning has to be a terrible way to go at least he was out on, or shall I say in, the water.
