uffepuffe 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 I agree, great set of flies! I've always been a sucker for the classic looking wet flies... I suck at tying them though so always great to see someone who can! Ulf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letumgo 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 John, that is a very impressive collection of flies! You've got a wide range of flies, and it looks like you will be covered for all manner of conditions on the river. I'm glad you posted a photo of the completed set. I always enjoy seeing your flies.
