Thanks for the input on The Red Bow John's. It has taken me about a year to design the flies, and I am quite proud of them. Working best in the Southern Hemisphere of the United States, not only does it look good but it works like a charm. If any of you guys live in Georgia I will be happy to send you a few of the Red Bows. They work especially well for the Chattahoochee River, near Helen- The Alpine Village!
Ian: I'm looking forward to entering another one of your swaps! Please continue to make them, they're great and you are a wonderful swapmeister!
