    Default looking for a source

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a source for this hard to find fly.
    Maybe David Lee will tie some up for me?
    Kindly,
    Nip

    I think Tim Au-young, fly tying instructor at Kiene's in Sacramento, will tie them for you.

    That is a very simple tie. Lots of tiers here could tie that. I’m pressed for time but maybe in a few weeks.

    Thanks , Mark .

    I (shockingly) didn't have any Olive micro-braid , so Olive Ice Dub did the trick . Same w/ the Partridge , did little tiny Teal collars instead . Knocked out a half-dozen before switching to 1/0 Smelt Flatwings ....

    I think so...my partner has the fly in question and could mail it off to you...he's in Concord.
    Then he would commission 18-24
