| I've been fly tying for about 10 years now, but you'd never know it. My Royal Coachmen still look like hell. I have created a few flys that are fairly unique and workfor me. Here are some of them. |
 | Diz's sunrise. Named for my father it's a cross between a Rat-Faced McDougal or Irresistibleand a deer hair bass bug. It's taken several species including trout,largemouth and bream. |
