I am interested as to why you haven't directed this enquiry to the fly tying section.

Can you let us know?

Craigie, I think there may be a little more room for another turn of hackle or two on those Klinks. Nice flies.

Hans von Klinken does not dress his Klinkhåmer Special for commercial gain.

Decidedly 'damp' rather than 'dry'.
