Yes, I tied them, Keith, but a fellow Dutch tyer, Jan Reniers, introduced me
to them. My only addition is some flash under the wing, which I think gives
the pattern a little more "life".
The wet flies are ready - yes, the swappers will receive a Spanish Fly from
me - 24 Palarettas waiting to be taken to the BFF. Not modern at all, they
are very traditional. Wet fly hook, thread body, thread rib, CdL wing,
thread head. that's it. The only modern abomination is that I used CA glue
instead of varnish. I'm not really a stick-in-the-mud ;-)

Subject: [VFB] Eels skin
Who here has access to eel skin for fly tying??
I remember seeing some patterns for eel skin baitfish and would like to
give
one or two a shot. I have never seen it offered in any catalogue here or
O/S
but remember the patterns coming from one of the Scandinavian countries.
In Oz, going back to the late 1800s I think, it was used on spinners (as
in
the lures, not fly fishing).
Anyone can help me out??
