George can tie anything. That thing looks like a long days work.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

George:
What/how is the body made?
Lay off the coffee in the morning and I think you could get one done with help from Mrs. G.

I wonder if I can gather a little more information.
If George ties one of those for the PB conference this fall, I will start the bidding off at $50.

....and George would not necessarily have to do all the tying. Even if he was the project coordinator I would consider it a "George Fly".

George, those are terrific! I have never seen anything like it. I've got one of yours from the 2008 Convention on my desk - afraid to use it!!
Just do it...

Those were a lot of fun, weren't they?
I really got myself into a lot of work - Theo suggested a naming contest - I volunteered two flies to the winner - Mrs. G was selected as the judge - Eric won two flies with the name Mrs. G's $Gill - I sent one fly to everyone that submitted a name - no way to ever come close to anything like that again!

You can help but Mrs G makes the ultimate choice. She is good luck and we need all of that we can get. Plus she has the best eye for color of anyone I know.

Geeze. After working with parts the size of flea poop all day, I am too tired for making things like this, but perhaps when I retire!
