thanks for the compliment. i tied it for my sister who likes the noah's ark story in the bible. oh, she loved it. the cross in the body was a total pain. took several tries to get it right.

thanks for the compliments. they are appreciated. i will check out the site , thank you. buy the way , this fly was donated to pheasants forever and auctioned for 100 dollars. i was very happy.

if you have a pheasant pelt it will help you to figure it out with my descriptions. the wing is the flank, sides, breast and upper back. the cheeks are head and the feather with the white trim is the "ring neck" feather. i had to use that some place. the throat feathera are from rump and lower back, if i'm picturing a pelt correctly. i am not at home now so i'm going from my memory. hope this helps.

I use a vise i made myself. It is an Abel style with a cam jaw. I have a Montane mongoose but do not like the drag it has in the rotary function due to the nylon bearings. My vise has stainles ball bearings, pluss when I add the counter balance attatchment to the vise it has litterally no drag at all. Is the smoothest vise I have ever used.
