Some I tied on a display. I have given these displays away to clients all over the country. I'm sorry for the poor quality pictures.

Come on man! Everyone knows that crane flies WILL NOT catch trout ;). They are worthless patterns to waste your time on, much less tie on the end of a line. If anyone wants to dispose of theirs in a humane manner, PM me and I'll give you my address to send them to! Thats my story, an I'm stickin to it!:D
