The Sparkle Pheasant Tail

Sometimes as I'm browsing fly-fishing websites I come across patterns that simply look too good not to tie. The Sparkle Pheasant Tail was one of them (I swear, I must have tied 10 gazillion flies involving pheastant tail bodies this winter). The full tying instructions can be found at Hipwader.com, which is a great Canadian fly-fishing site. I'm going to respectfully include one of their photos in this post.

Our darling infant has developed the endearing habit of being a complete angel during the day, only to pull a Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde transformation aroung 9:30 each night, whereby he proceeds to scream inconsolably until 3:00 AM, at which time he retires for the evening. Who knew parenting could be such fun......
