Looking good Steven, lots of patience applied to that little beauty.
Tying desk still as neat and tidy as it was before you started tying the last few weeks?
Finland is a neutral country - but the guns point to the east.
A little finessing ..new flies always require fine tuning..muscle memory..to get the recipe to fit..
The desk? Kinda looks like a bomb went off..organized chaos..still green, then grey finally brown.. still 4 weeks away from a few dries..with trying to go for elk...and sharpeming knifes, wood working and pretty painfull 15 hrs a day..Unfortunately the chronic limping poor gait is throwing my back into the pile with destroyed knees and hip...the life of a retired geriatric ex..paramedic..

That's a mighty fine specimen Steve. You being a perfectionist sure shows in your results.
Hmmm trying hard to get better with time..so proportion, color size..even the tiny bit extra wing..legs to try to incorporate some movement....it is a new pattern hasnt caught a single trout yet but here is hoping..hmmm later I will post some photos of size 18 adult mayfly now those truly take some concentration calm hands and no more than 1 coffee..plus reading glasses..
Cheers
Steven
