Dear MEMBERS,

First and all a warm thanks for the 'lookers' and even more (wink !) to the reposters at my special 'trio' of "DELTA GREEN's"...yes me tooooo 'loves' them with relooking ... day by day more and more !!! (it's like the love I feel for my Nathalie...and believe me I am for once serious ! hahahahaha)...and yes I love 'green' ! (but shame to confess I never tied a "GREEN HIGHLANDER" on the other front and this after 3 and half years !!! hahahaha)

Did manage only to finish this 'one' reasonably late yesterday evening...looked toooooooo much to the 'Olympic games' on TV...reason why I only could take a couple of shots of this 'strange' FLUFF tailer !!!

Not a belter of a wet fly...'and went immediatly' for a sort of MIXED wet wing !!!

very simple in construction !

the fluff in the tail is one of the fluffiest feathers I found on a partridge skin...yes perhaps a tad to long...but I am confident it will 'wiggle' a huge attraction ! hahahahahaha
body is silver twisted copper but not so good to see ! wink !
throath is a little hen pheasant feather (a mix of nice rusty deep brown and brown)
wing is mixed (or a sort of mixed wing - I state that I didn't putted a whole whole lot of attention in my preparations and handlings to come to this wing)...but I think it's still a fair enough...and is composed of my allways grey goose with white tips + cinnamon colored monal tail fibers and a bit of speckled grey/white and black turkey tailfeather fibers...
head is black

ENJOY ! and yes I LOVE YOU ALL...and that YOU all my encounter a good working week or a good holiday week...or a good general week ! (this last one for the pensioners or or or non workers for one or another reason (health or economic)


Realy don't know if I can still do or bring another one before wensdayevening (time to put my weekly salmon hook in my vise !)...and this as my BEES are waiting...the SUMMER HONEY has to be 'taken' by their boss (and that is ME !!!)...not that I have a lot of hives to do...but for me and Nathalie this is a huge work...but it shafts 'us' some intense pleasure to see the 'pure' honey 'flowing out' in a special 'alu' tank.

you're the master of the freestyle wet fly Geert.

Never ceases to amaze me how you produce so many different flies on a daily basis!

Geert, you must stop doing this - making me want to go upstairs & tie flies. Maybe if I had seen this before going to Blagdon yesterday, i'd have taken more than one (measly little brownie).
