Fish can't tell the difference I'm incredibly envious of the way that you are able to nail the proportions for every fly that you tie, good work as always.

Thanks! Thank you for the kind words. I love to tie and fish the classic UK and Catskill patterns. I prefer to fish soft hackles or winged wets whenever the conditions will allow. They caught trout a hundred years ago and they still work well when fished correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
