      Thanks! It will be a while before I am able to offer this (or any other) fly to a fish - Prague is frozen stiff, and there is little hope of the arctic weather passing any time soon.
      We fly fishermen are fortunate indeed to have the solace of tying table to keep our sanity; my spin fishing friends are getting seriously cranky by now :)
      Cheers!

    I understand that. Here in Bollnäs (Sweden) we had 25 degrees below zero centigrade last night. Not much to do when it comes to fly fishing. It's time to tie up a batch of flies for the upcoming season now. I really like your fly. I would like to tie some but I don't have the Güterman sewing thread in pink but perhaps I can substitute it with something.

    Have fun tying flies for the spring,
    M.O.
