chugbug27 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2023 Thought I'd make a fly in honor of my stepson's relatively new band, Bargain Biscuit. I used scrap deer hair and a bit of yarn left over from tying up a bunch of serendipities, and a stray, misplaced hook. Here's the fly: Can't seem to find a link to the band, I'll have to add that later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
