willowhead 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2008 :headbang: :yahoo: DAMN Rocky.......that BE BAD!!!!!!!.......only one thing i might, (well, i would of), done differently........and that's made the tip with gold tinsel.........when i use gold hooks, i use silver tinsel for tip/tags.........when i use silver hooks, i use gold tinsel for tips/tags. And since you had a nice "golden" tail.....i'm thinkin' a gold tip mighta been KILLER on that silver hook. Woulda matched up with thail perfect. But that aint no biggie at all...........and it's just my eye. The fly ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL design.........GREAT execution........WONDERFUL proportions..........and your heads have now GOT IT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like i said..........that fly ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope your pony aint smartin'. mark..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
