Glad you liked it Mark. I was tying those for my tube class in January and
I ended up giving all of them away at the show. I came home with some
pretty neat flies in exchange though. :) Dave Schmezer gave me a cicada
that I LOVE!!! He is a riot! Steve came home with a pocket full of Byards
special caddis flies so he didn't give me such a hard time this trip even
though my little darlings were in rare form. :)
I probably won't submit that to a magazine but I plan on sending some more
flies to Hans. I don't know the origin of the pattern but it is one that I
got from Ed Belasky my saltwater mentor so there is a good chance it is his
original pattern. He is one of them most gifted tyers I know and he has
loaned me his tarpon and tube flies so that I can reproduce the patterns. I
learn so much doing this. He doesn't use conventional materials in many of
his flies so it makes me think outside the box. Eventually I can apply all
of this knowledge to my own creations. He is my biggest salt water
inspiration and a rare individual to share so much. He gave his permission
to send the flies I tied for Hans site also. There are so many talented
tiers I meet that stay away from circuit tying and then their patterns are
lost to time.
Enjoy,
Deb
