Nice bit of tying. Try the same fly with a light cloak of bronze mallard over the tippets

Confucius also say - you have misspelt my name in Anglic ( aka Gong Fu Ze - in Han u Pin Yin ! ) - But don't use that - non Mandarin speakers would never understand who you meant .

I reckon his most telling Analect is the one that runs " A Man who wears Sharp Clothes and Talks with a Smooth Tongue is Seldom Associated with Virtue !"

But a scruffy peasant who swears a lot , like me , would choose that one , wouldn't he !

Mind the pigeons!
