Graham 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 I've been bowing in the direction of Sweden today. Albert I have to say your grasshopper is incredible looking. I mean, it even looks cute, like a nice little pet, and totaly looks real. I love the shape, wings, legs, eyes, coloring, everything... it really is incredible. It's hard to imagine what the second one will look like, espeically with you and Ulf tying together for extra inspiration. Between you and Globalfisher now I have been inspired, and will try and find time to work on tying a grasshopper. Great job buddy, Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harleyhunter 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 Albert, Great fly. Do you do other things (eat, drink, sleep, & sh*t) or just live tying flies. Really though absolutly awsome hopper! Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
