Graham 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2005 Wow, if your first one looks that realistic and well tied it's hard to imagine what you'll be posting next. I think you tied an excellent fly and thank you for sharing it. Great job smokeymountainstonefly. Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
