It's been a while since I've been able to tie something just for fun.  Couple of "Blue Rat's" tied as hat pins and one normal example that was used to remember how to tie it.  :)

Cornie's Quill - The design of this fly came from the mind of Cornie Schrems of Grand Rapids in the 1950' or '60's.  I said that the design came from Mr. Schrems BUT he was not a fly tyer!  His designs were normally tied by his friends Art Neumann or Dan Bailey and Art was the one who named this pattern.  Cornie was at George Griffith's home when the first meeting was held to form TU.
