| I heard Al once say he liked to devote a week to tying
|
| each important fly, at some point, so he could "learn how
|
| to tie the fly." After determining a precise design and
|
| tying procedure, he liked to stick with his routine.
|
| Why make adjustments to perfection?

|
| This Als Yellow Hopper3 shows (I think) an earlier stage
|
| in this fly's evolution. Notice how this one has a spun
|
| deer hair body, while the more recent versions have
|
| a folded and wrapped deer hair body.
