Darren, that was quite powerful and touching. You are a great guy and I'm honored to call you a friend. My MSI card renewal is signed and ready to put in the mail and organ donor box is checked as yes.

Darren, great tribute to Davin & his family. My wife and i have our licenses checked for organ giving ever since it began. My youngest daughter was a patient at the Shriner's Childrens Hospital until she turned 21, at which age they are considered adults. Shriner's is the only charity I will donate to. I owe them a big debt!! I think you have inspired me to do a Shriner's streamer in the coming year.
You are a wonderful example for others and an inspiration to us old timers. Keep up the good work!
Cheers, Joel
Darren,
Very nice tie and a very touching story behind it..
You the Man !!!!!!!!!! I'm honored to be part of this project..
Darren, I've often told my kids, everyone has a story. Most of the time we are rushing about, too busy to learn them.
Thank you for writing this and for sharing. It must be comforting to Devin's family to know part of him lives through you.
Not all transplants are successful, so huge congratulations for making it to your 10-year anniversary. Here's to many more decades of good fortune and good health.
What a great reminder to those who haven't elected to be organ donors!
Best wishes and thanks, Terri
Beautiful fly, and very touching story as well!
Never thought about steaming, Thanks for the tip,best info i've found
Donald,
Nice fly indeed. It seems pretty much like what I have seen called a Goat's Toe before, but as you know the number of variations within single patterns can be really large.
You can see Davie McPhail's bid on the same pattern in our video section.

Quanta pazienza e passione hanno i pescatori.
Jim, a super design! I really like it.Very impressive!
Cheers, Joel
I LOVED this one! Very different, and it just WORKS for me. The colors all compliment each other. Sparsely tied. Great skills. Looks like an excellent fish getter to top it off.
Many years ago, a friend told me the Nipmuc name means "We fish on our side, you fish on your side, and no one fishes in the middle where the fishing is best." Thanks for the link to the video.
Nice fly.
I've never fished there, but I've driven that stretch of 395 a ton of times. :P I think the signs there shortened it to Lake Chaubunagungamaug. It's been a few years though ...
Who cares it is illegal? What self respecting fly fisherman would dare to kill such a beautiful fish. And since for fly fisherman the day on the water, the scenery, the company are on the first place and fish comes second it does not realy matter. And to be honest i`d rather hook a fish "illegal" instead of a fish thjats hooked so deep it almost crapped out my hook. I do not use them on therself but i often use them in a streamer rig with 2 beads above my streamer its realy makes a difference!
This is a real beauty! The color combo is superb! Great tie!
I remember this one. Very nice Steve!
Great tying, Steve. A real classic look.
