I've gotten a lot of really nice comments. Only a few critiques off list so I think the classic tyers are on vacation for labor day. I did forget to mention that the beautiful seal fur used on this fly is a product of a fellow VFB'er ... Bill Bailey. He has been dying materials to match colors in the original flies from Blacker's book. It's a lot of work and he has been very helpful to me. I've also gotten a lot of helpful advice from a few of the classic tyers on this list.
Iain Short started this bug in the worst way when he mailed me a full dress Jock Scott he had tied. I had just joined the VFB and was new to tying. That was such a special gift. The wealth of knowledge on this list is incredible.
Thanks again,
Deb

Deb,
This is beautiful. Do you live in RI?

I just pulled up our UFT site and they put up a picture of one of my flies. You can finally have a place to check out one of my salmon flies. This one was tied in a class I took along with a few other UFT members and Charlie Chute in April. They are still a work in progress but I just thought some of you might enjoy a peek anyway. This is the second year we had this class with him and it was a really fun day. He is a really good teacher to tie with. http://www.uftri.com/ Enjoy, Deb
