Beautiful knives Tooty. I have one of Billy Watson's skinning knives that I treasure greatly, and use on my squirrels.

those are the ones i bid on tony.i have a box of other peoples flies i keep for sentimental and also not to lose the pattern.that is a very nice fly and probably too expensive to produce here anymore.i went to bream bugs and i dont think they produce the copies any more.a lot of work goes into those little bugs

tony just bid on some of those miss prissy flies in the colors you described.very hard to find any accardo flies on ebay.if i get em i will get one to mark if he is interested.i could never pull off the paint work to produce thes

The Miss Prissy was balsa with a cupped face....I loved the size 8 and size 10 versions in chartreuse/black/chartreuse. Hands down, the most productive BG popper I have ever used. I have found modern renditions of this bug from breambugs.com. and they catch fish, but not like the originals.
