George, those flies are absolutely stunning. Some I really liked, and will try to make. Thanks for sharing that with us!!

Very COOL! Picking up some new ideas. Thanks george1

George

I'm diggin' those flies! Loved them when I first saw them on Bill Cashin's website before I ever knew who originated them.

Hope you get in some fine fishing soon.

I like the stripes in pic 18. I'll have to take a marker to some of the blondes I tied yesterday.

It looks like someone has been very busy at the vice. Quite a few good hours invested in those babies.

George: You might want to wander over to Dan Blanton.com and check out the new t-shirt for Striperfest 2008 and note the hook on the fly in the mouth of that nice Striper. Dave Sellers did a great job on this one as usual.

Thanks for the link of some beautiful flies.

Thanks Dale, I noticed the jig hook - neat..
Check out Dave’s “notebook paintings – most of his fish paintings, with illustrated flies are tied on jig hooks – he’s quite an artist – we exchange ideas on fly patterns.

"A surprise gift....... [Bulletin Board] Posted by Dave Sellers on 2008-10-03 16:43:05 I just received a surprise gift. A box of flies tied by Dale Wilkinson of Texas. His e-mail address says it all: Brimbum@aol.com. Still trying to piece together who was responsible for this gift. Regardless, it's a thing of beauty as is any fly box packed with flies in tidy rows. These have so much color and are so deadly that I can honestly say a box of precious gems would not be as pretty to me. I'll use them soon and often. Here is a photo of a similar fly box with flies tied by Dale. I took this last spring. The fly box belongs to Rick Pope.I love surprises!Dave

That Big Dale has a big heart. He is extremely generous, and a very talented fly tyer to boot!

Wow Dale. That box of flies looks like a box of candy. Bream candy for sure.

dale, that is art

George, I finally got around to making a couple of Schminnows with the 60 deg bend hook. It was on my to do list, but I had to find the right material. I made one in silver, then one in pearl. Thanks again for posting such a great looking fly.

Congrats Kelly ....!!!!
