Cold, like yesterday's weather.  LoL, a favorite expression of my much missed Gramps. I'll have to tie one up. 

Excellent set of streamers, CP.

I miss a lot of the old timers their expressions and experience's, being the kid in deer camp. It's funny to look in a mirror and see my grandfather

Ever dress the rear hook? do you think it would hurt the action? probably be using a 9 or 10 weight system

Bruce - beautiful work as always.  Reminds me of some of the Mike George or that guy from Italy (Fabrizio ??) sculptures.

question if you got a second.  The first picture shows the fly in the vise secured by the very end of the shank with the hair stacked all the way to the rear. The third picture is a great shot of the hook connected to the shank.  How did you attach the hook once the bug was complete?  I’m thinking the 4th photo is a belly weight?

thanks
