Listen Wingman

You are churning out too many quality flies, I will now PM you with my address in order to help you with vastly decreasing available storage space at your house.

Look forward to receiving your excess flies nrxt week.

Fishing with a friend yesterday Mark, and he was using something very similar to that, a traditional winged fly, just a tad darker brown.
I was using a more modern creation, due to eye sight, end of day, he had 5 to my two, there's a lot to be said for the original dry flies, especially when they are tied as nicely as that.

Thanks Paul, yes it was just over 9 months ago actually and hadn't tied for nearly 30 years from when I was a sprite keen teen. I'm quite pleased with my progress in those few months and the great encouragement and advice I've recieved on here has been excellent and very much appreciated.but I still can't tie my shoe-laces
