Do you have a patter

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

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

George
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 qui

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 pic

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!

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.

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.
