Now, it makes sense...


Once the blue feather was attached backwards, it was wrapped around and around the hook in the other direction. This caused it to stick out all around and resemble a big fuzzy caterpillar - tempting bait, if you are a fish. As I mentioned yesterday, this fly ended up being one of his favorites. He didn't keep his favorite flies. He gave them to my husband and I, with instructions to keep them safe. He has long since learned that fishing lures get lost in the weeds...

Hey, it worked. Good for your son. I made a shadow box with flies my friend made and wanted to keep to enjoy---on a wall not in a river. MB
