Nice tying as per usual Andrew

Inter Continental Ballistic Dabbler; that's a new one on me

Haven't a clue what ICB is, but I like it anyway.

body. ripple flash ice cap blue.

partridge.got a pkt from my fishing Buddie no idea where he got it. will ask him.

ps. had some good results this season with blue incorporated into the tying. [buzzers DB. cormie.s ] so the dabbler should work.

What I really like about your patterns is despite being fantastic to look at... is you push the boundaries...you have an artisic flair and a drive, an ability to mix fur and feather with modern synthetics! Spot on! Truly Gifted!
