...Got to get off this dry fly kick soon...otherwise I could be labled a "dry fly snob" :?

But here's one more--The Beaverkill. It's an old trout fly name , taking us back well over a century.

Another beauty that should be under glass and not on anyone's tippet... ;)

Do you tie any "fishing, or bin, flies" at all... or just showcase pieces... :?:

Ed....I tie all kind of stuff---and it's with me on-stream (but--sorry--not a bead and foam guy...). Lots of Adams in my box---and Light Cahills.
