Found it at the website that the masters of fly tying hang. Amazing skills that blow me completely off the planet.

There's a guy who ties for (in part) use as movie props, etc. He ties all sorts of bugs, and they're incredibly lifelike. If you walked into your kitchen and saw one of his house flies sitting on the table, you'd reach for the swatter. I kid you not, they're that realistic. Wish I could recall the website :p

ROFL So true..so true..Fly tying is a whole world of its own. I'll master the unique it some day..for now, just basic mastery with my kids and wife.

Leo, It is not a catching up endeavor to tie flies, it is a constant learning process!!!! Tie and learn with as many tiers as you can even those who are in beginning stages of their tying!!!! Their are so many techiniques in tying that you will pickup from tiers that it is a quest that can last a lifetime!!!! PRACTICE PRACTICE.......   :-)  Ok that is way to HEAVY for me so tie, fish, and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greg, specifics for this one is here:

I followed his fly technique for sometimes now, and many other like him. Then I join this group of fly tying. I can't seem to catch up fast enough.

By the way, not this specific fly, but a few similar to it, with vibrant details, have been used to catch fishes. My heart just dropped and so envious of the fishes that got them. The high colors attracted all fishes within 2 minutes of the cast. Incredible.

Wow, that thing belongs under glass! I couldn't bring myself to tie it on and actually fish with it.
