Your flies are just so nice, may I say perfect almost. I use some of your wet flies as examples that I try to imitate. Let’s just say I’m nowhere close to your level so I‘ll keep mine in the box until I am stream side.🤓
BTW, your photographs are excellent also. Please continue letting us see your great work. It’s inspiring. Thank you.
