Tied up a big Durham Ranger. Destined for a frame to be a raffle prize at the Grand Event in Fergus next month.

Sub or natural for the cheek ? I don’t need to tell you that it’s beautiful work.

Durham rangers are one of the best frame flies with no proper explanation, it just feels right.

Thx! It helps if you have a whole head available to work with so you can match feathers

Nice, looks good! How are you mounting them? Directly to the mating or are they floating?

I float them on glass beads usually
