Another great fly . I still fish the old standards . On question Barry . How do you maintain the wax on your right index finger ?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Leonard. It's my own wax that I make from my own bee's. It's tacky wax so it stays stuck on until I pull it off.

[@COCCmath]

Thank you, Barry! This fly is gonna *slay. Appreciate your tutelage!

CALGARY,ALBERTA.CANADA here Barry; My supplier just got in the new mustard hooks .What do you think about them? I like them . Thanx for the dry fly pattern. Tight lines Barry.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Kenneth, I helped design them so I'm happy with them!

[@pierrelalonde1887]

Wonderful as always Barry 😀
I haven’t tied in months but im a sucker for buggy dry flies and had to give it a go. It came out pretty good I think and the access dust buildup on my thread from not tying lately gave it a extra buggy zing 😂

[@Thefeatherbender]

Merci Pierre.
