Very inspiring to say the least . Wonderful ties !! Those will have the steelhead in my favourite waters lining up for a strike at them !!

Hi Frank

Nice set of flies :thumbsup:

The flies looks just right on these lovely Alec jackson hooks. It gives them this Spey/Dee look which is deadly (for the fish).

regards

Jens
