Really nice tie!

Just be careful if you ever come to the states. One of the better known Brit. tyers was coming in for a big show with some art quality and they were seized by customs. One was aspider he had over 200hrs into. Apparently the fellow at customs thought they were real bugs impaled on hooks and therefore contraband for import.
Last I knew he was still fighting to get them back.

Gorgeous Tie…any insight to the time you have into that fly?

Is it a fly you fish or just an art fly?

Nice work Allen. 😉
I really like the legs. What did you use to make them?
Bill

Hi Bill.
Im using Gold Pheasant.
The trick is to bend them in shape with a “tweezer” (dont know if that is spelled correct) hold them in position, and then add a VERY small amount of UV softbody on both sides of the bend, use the UV light ofr a couple of seconds and then let it go, it should now stay in the position you wanted it to be in.
