Norm you are so active with posts I hope you know we know we all just eat these up and are in awe, silent or not. This one brought me out just to say Wow what a nice looking streamer that is.

Thank you, Musky, if I'm the "Mike" you're referring too.   I'm really hoping to get out in two weeks, when I'm home again.  If the temps cooperate and it warms up some, the Crappie (Speck, in Floridian) should be on fire.  Maybe a few bass, too.  They are very light, and I'm hoping they'll fly well on a 5 weight.

I tied a few more this evening, in brown mesh and yellow thread.

Thanks, I don't think I have any white dubbing or yarn, other than poly yarn.  I'll have to pick some up next week.
