Graham 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2005 Hey Leif, Awesome fly!!! I know I'll never get tired of looking at your work, in fact I check the site daily hoping to see something new. You nailed this fly, it really is incredibly realistic. I wanted to have a better look at the coloring, so brightened it up a bit in Photoshop, hope you don't mind. Anyway, the coloring is excellent, I love it!!! Cheers buddy, Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SullyTM 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2005 That stone is nasty! Leif, the bending of the body etc. is a nice touch. Do you experience and problems bending the hooks? I know it's cold in your neck of the woods but tomorrow AM I'm tossing some realistics at some Chinook. I'll post a report. If you have any "rejects" I'll bemore than happy to catch some Winter salmon with them Later. SullyTM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mayflyman 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2005 What can I say.......Leif. This fly is a real credit to you. This is the sort of fly that gives people on this site a lot of inspiration. At the moment I'm tying an "art" fly, and now can't wait till it's finished to take a crack at the Perlodes. Well done Leif.............Alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
