I am going to get some bronze mallard just to try to replicate some of your flies.

This one looks fantastic, just as all the others.

Scott, thank you so much for putting all these SBS posts together. I know they're a ton of work, but your photos and directions are super clear and make all these patterns so much less intimidating. Very well done!
