Hi Jim; Good to see you are still tying great flies.
Those Hydropsyche Larvae have given me a good few Rainbows in the Tongoriro a good fish fetcher. Have Fun. Jax

OMGoodness

That thing looks alive.

You are a bug artist.

Step outside of what we do and it would be wierd to figure this thing out.

But man, what a bug, really cool.

Jim, you are an artist on another level indeed.
