Jim, if you notice...I never claimed it was new...(but I hadn't seen one tied that way before, which doesn't mean much, since old things are rediscovered every day). I went fishing last Monday for bass and panfish and Saturday for saltwater...only thing i managed to catch was a sunburn (didn't apply enough sunscreen Saturday, there was also a lot of wind which didn't help). this week I've got to get back to tying for a bunch of swaps. I'm glad your experience at the show was a postive one.
