The Daily Fly....

6/14/2013

 
Ever since seeing this pattern in Terry Griffiths Kelson book (which we've got for sale here.), I knew I had to tie it.  So, this morning I woke up early, ate my Wheaties and had a go at it.  The fly is tied on a 9/0 monster vintage blind eye.  It's a simple pattern, but in this large of a size any small error is greatly magnified.

Also, be sure to click here to check out all of the new materials I listed on our home page.  Thanks!
