Excellent work as always my Friend....the streamer fly is really where your tallen shines , nobody ties them like you do!! Is that cheek partridge?
I don't fish or tie flies for recognition, fame or glory!! I fish because the river draws me with its peace and beauty.

Too hard for Mike to see those feathers while they're flying away

Those arse feathers are usually all we see on the wild birds we have here Charles...we just to walk up and put those "planted" birds in our game bags
