    I like the squirrel Damsel.
    Can serve as a tiny baitfish as well.

    Awesome Flies G!

    But I think you made a mistake in the recipe.

    Daai is nice vliegies!

    Why do you tie 6 of each?
    I tie usually tie 5 of each pattern and a box of 25 hooks usually finishes pretty even then...
