Darren, the choice of materials here is outstanding. I love how it all comes together. A beauty!
WoW! Darren, this is one of your best yet. I love the colors and wicked shape. Super job!
Do you have a pattern for an "Old Faithful"? I believe that it is tied from a breast feather of a cock pheasant and the body is sort of an olive green. Thanks!
George,
Being in Denmark doesn't put me in a good position to find bargains in the US, but a quick search should reveal several places for you to shop online. I found the Fleye Foils in the online shop White Water Flies.com which ships for free within the US.
Bear's Den has the foils too and uses USPS and has no extra charges as far as I can see.

Where can we buy fleye foil in the US without paying ups charges that are more than the product, What happened to US Mail?
Sean,
I'm not quite sure that your interpretation of the copyright laws are quite valid... if you see a picture of an Apple product or one from Bang and Olufsen without measures on it, does that mean you can copy their design as you please? I'm sure that Apple's and B&O's lawyers will disagree! Copyright is there no matter what text or signs is on a picture, manuscript or drawing unless it's waived (like with Creative Commons) or has run out.
But Tom probably has no lawyers and most likely won't pursue you if you copy and/or sell his design. Whether you want to do that or develop your own original designs is fully up to you and your conscience.

Since all of the pictures are dimension-less, if I machine one similar and sell it, then that's not copyright infringement!
So far I have made one of my own and a simpler one for sale! My spool size is 3.5 in, the line guide is different, and the reel foot extension is different and lighter. Thank you Tom for your great ideas!
Kelly, this is one of my favorites. You did an oustanding job of tying on this one.Keep up the good work!
Kelly, GREAT job!! No wonder you liked the skunkadelic streamer. :o) Maybe we'll see a dominoe effect with more
black and white flies. (pun intended)
Thanks guys. This is indeed one of my favorite creations. I made this fly in July of 2011. I am very happy that you liked this pattern!
I went to tie this fly and noticed Hilyard's book states it has an orange floss body as shown but calls for red floss. Just saying. Great job on this project.
Thanks Bob. It's possible I made the error, or copied it. I'll check it our and find some other sources. Thanks for the heads up.
Pretty cool watching someone else do well in a lot of my own personal favorite spots across MT and Yellowstone. Well done and cool footage
blazad,
If you put the float at the end of the line, where would you then put the fly?
Martin
Why can't you just put the bubblefloat at the end of the line?? Surely that would make casting and landing much easier??
