I've NEVER been a big phan regarding the pre-phrabricated phly phuselage notion... but...
"if you build it, they will come"...
'might as well have the phur n' pheatherz pre-attached and internal magnets for a click-on-click-off quick-change application...
To each their own... but I digress...
Here's a "Wrapped n' Welded Three Pheather Phlat Wing" that was enthusiastically "assembled" in the Area61 Skunk Works by ME and phinished with BB magic voodoo acrylic...

Pete,

As always: very nice flies and something that is bound to catch fish!

I've been fooling around with Popovics' Fleye Foils lately and making some small baitfish, but nothing with the variation and fantasy that yours display.

Hi Kelly, Dave, and Joel;
Thank you all for your compliments and comments on my BYR Smelt! I appreciate very much that you like the pattern, and took the time to comment! Thanks again!

Alan, great work. Love the name, and explanation of the area. I got to visit Lake Placid and that area in the 1980's. That is where I got to see the first fly angler in action. I decided right then and there it was something I had to do, eventually. Anyway, the fly is wonderful. Love it.

do you need an inner tube or use a junction tube at the end of the fly

Ayesha,

Name only (the hook)?!! What hook? And naming all the gear and nets... what nets? No nets appear in this article. And naming all the gear makes no sense, and is far beyond the scope and subject of the article.

Don, that is an absolute killer pattern. I LOVE IT. The colors are to die for. The profile it gorgeous. Artfully tied. A definite WINNER!

why do you name only hook? you should given name of nets and others gear.

I couldn't agree more Martin! I hate xxxxin' flash! I have it shut off and refuse to view it. Jobs was right! Apple too rich though... come on they are way overdue because well, they are right. I also own nothing with Microsoft or windows in it. Cant stand that crap, it makes me ill looking at it.

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
