So I won't be doing the obvious: tie them myself. Which leads to my questions....:
1. Does anyone have info on why it is not available commercially? What happened? Or if you know where they CAN be purchased, then where?
2. What is your favorite Alternative fly to the Stonedaddy fly (that is available for purchase)?
3. If I do have some free time, what Simple pattern would you suggest to tie, using common materials (not uncommon expensive ones)?
Thanks in advance.
