Nice flies, tyers. Thanks to all, and a big kiss for the swapmeister!

Well, I dunno about the kiss part, but the flies are outstanding.
:-) Big Dale's bendback looks like it will get some use down here for
bass. Wayno's white Wulff is a beauty. Opie's extended body monster is
cool, if nothing else for the imaginative way of doing the body.

Claspy ties a nice softhackle (what didya use for the body?), as
does Stan. Etc., etc., etc.

Hmmm ... the key word being "invested", I assume? :-)

Bill's already covered that quite well.


Chuck Vance (well, someone tied a lovely Wulff, and it's already
in my flybox)

My bendback is kind of unusual. The bendback is the only pattern that I
can think of that can be tied so sparse that it will not work. For
those trying to tie one like that don't forget that the first step in
tying is to tie in a strip of lead wire to act as a keel to make sure
the hook will ride with the point up.
