Just found this page ( I'm usually late for the party). I have some Mustad 3665a in a #1 and 1/0 if you would like a couple for the hooks.

Nice design. Why not pull a wing case over the hackle to create another variation?
I love this streamer. This and the Blacknosed Dace are my ringers on the river
Superb job tying! I have never seen Polar Bear this white before! Beautiful!
Beautiful fly, outstanding job.
Great looking fly Don, black ghost has always had a special place in my heart. This version, is amazing.
do you have the pattern for the lithuanian prince streamer ? It is a Lake George landlocked salmon fly.
would greatly appreciate it.
One of the best trout flies on Prince Edward Island Canada. We call it the brown hackle. Usually fish with two flies. ( a must) Brown Hackle on end and a Whickems Fancy on top.
No more wasted feathers. I will make this easy-to-construct fly in a smaller size and try it on some perch; I know they take everything but they need a change from little woolly buggers. LCR is good stuff. Thank you. Kate
By tying a threadwrap smoothly along the entire hook shank, a much more durable fly is the result. The tyer of the adams dry is knowledgable, but I would recommend that conciderablly fewer wraps of thread, well placed, will result in a more streamlined and equally durable tie which will absorb less water and is less likely to unravel.
Alan, this is wonderful work. I love all the variations of the Brooks Blonde. The Mickey Finn has also been a favorite. The two combined are a knock out.
Agree with Kelly. a great tye....
love bucktails, simple but effective
great job alan
Thanks. The Blonde series are great for pike and bass too. They are quick to tye and make a tough fly that will take the abuse and teeth from big pike. I have even caught Channel cats on them.
thank ypu for all the comments on this little fly
I was wanting to purchase some Tomsu's Supreme Hopper flies. Can you help me accomplish that? Thanks, Dewayne Findley
My favorite patterns are a green/white and a Micky Finn (red/yellow) pattern but also pink/white is great in the winter and early spring. They have quite a few sea trouts on their conscience. A great fly on the danish coast and it will always be in my flybox.
I first saw the fly in the DVD "Salt sea trout on a fly" (i think) but was introduced to the fly by a friend in Norway during summer hollyday, where we went on an early morning trip to a small fjord. I didn't catch any trouts that morning, but a few garfish couldn't resist it. Back in Denmark i tied a few of them and they were testet on the danish east coast with succes.
For sure one of my favorites....
Regards
Thomas
Hello
Is the 54 inch long wood carving of a Northern Pike for sale?
No name - good one Barry. Will have to give it a try.

love this fly very much, alot of naturals with just the right ammount of bright colors. nice work on the head as well!
I love this little fly,i will be tying a few to try on the Scottich rainbows for the coming season...
Barry If you allow me I take the audacity to suggest a name for this fly, "good vision", because these lures attract the fish much ...good luck.
Great movie! It utterly makes me want to go there ASAP!
… I have a small favor to ask.
