Polly Rosborough’s Hare’s Ear

I find these to be a challenging tie. I really have to take my time to get them to look good. This is a size 10.

Lars, That’s a nice set of Polly’s Fuzzy Nymphs! I’m always on the lookout for his nymphs. Seems like they are getting harder and harder to come by.

Thanks, i haven't looked of late, but i sold most of my collection some years ago, and i don't believe i own those anymore. I really liked collecting flies, but with the battle of destruction by bugs over time i opted to sell them to others who would take the proper care of them. I have a nice Bob Mead praying mantis under a glass dome which the little mfer's have taken a liking to. That was when i began selling.

Yeah, bugs can be a real problem. I lost a set of McMurray flies to them. Mostly anyway. Where I’m living now, bugs haven’t been a problem. Some areas seem worse than others.

I always like the all-furs in the Dave Hughes book, but never bothered to try and make any.
