Notes: This is the third streamer in Tom's series created to honor the brave members of the United States military. For the project, Tom had created hairwing versions of all of his patterns that were originally tied as featherwing flies. The original featherwing had a black ostrich collar behind the head and only used golden pheasant crest in the belly.
"We owe our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines a debt of gratitude, and I thank you all for your service."

Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
