Skip I love em... Did you watch him tie the house fly? Is it to scale ,,house fly?

It's a little bigger than a real house fly, but not so much as you may think looking at the picture. It's about the size of some flies I have seen around farms and such which bigger than a house fly, but only maybe 1 1/2 times that? I didn't watch him tie it, but I will learn it as he can tell me how and we are going to do some web cam work with him helping me some. I pretty much know how he tied it anyway and he tied another one to fish with that looks about the same, but more Peacock Herl exposed on the back half, but the front still has that material that has the fly color on the thorax portion.

All of them he sent me he took pictures of an has the recipe when I want. Got some more coming and I send him things and let him use my photos of the Florescent jigs and flies. Want me to teach him how I take the photos of the glowing stuff which i will do. Some I think he is going to send for me to photograph for him.

Very nice guy that has a ton of knowledge and DVD is pretty awesome too. I have watched it a couple time and will a lot more.

He is the same guy that tied the shrimp that look like a real grass shrimp. Don't know if you saw that or even if you were here then, but I would think you were here. It was a clear looking shrimp.

I will try to remember to take a photo that will show size on that tomorrow. Tell me if I for get, LOL!

he does fantastic work skip there is only one other person that I've seen this good. It was a woman called Audrey Joy and she was a world-class fly tire in the Northwest. She had worked for many people in the past. Her work was a world renowned I know you probably never heard of her, but maybe in a few books her name might be mentioned, but anyway this guy is fantastic. I sure like that blowfly or you guys were calling it a horsefly . I'm going to have to get more material so I can get back into doing some of this work. It's been a long time since I've done some of that stuff. Maybe we should try doing corporate rate more than stuff into our jig work. I think the jigs with the fantastic which some of this type of work on them is I Tied hackle around the body of many jigs in worked up stuff like this. I've always wanted to try a Royal coachman with a jig head and haven't done it yet but I think it would be fantastic in the smaller sizes for trout and also panfish and I deftly would want to try some mosquito type stuff. Also I hope that you will post more of his work skip.
