Title: Scruffy Olive paraloop #14
Post by: Andrew Ellis on 11/01/2017 at 09:50

I'm getting just a teensy bit excited  :X2 about an impending trip to Scotland in April with some friends on here.  I've been tying some of Sandy's Scruffy Olive plume tips, but in honesty I prefer hackles to CDC... (I promise I'll still fill up with plume tips Sandy!) so Liam suggested a paraloop version. Here's the first attempt in a #14. Mike's fab new CDL for the tail.
