cphubert 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2020 Nice clean tie, Some say DeFeo was ahead of his time using floss to highlight and blend colors in his style of low water mixed wing/hairwing salmon patterns. I tend to like these and the rat style. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
