This is a fishing fly mounted on a tube wrapped with the same thread used to mount the eyes and handles on fishing poles. I got the idea of a fly off an IAP thread and I thought I'd try putting it on top of a wrapped tube. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

Kenny: Thanks for the beautiful inspiration. As my hobby was fly fishing, fly tying, and rod building, before pens came along:eek: I have thought, numerous times about casting one in a bottle stopper, but just always thought one would be too thick for on a pen. You have proven me wrong. An Elk Hair caddis should look good too. Gold wrap, trimmed hair and hackle on back side:biggrin: Ah, yes!!! Again, beautiful job. Thanks for showing!

Very nice, but I think you need less of a curve in the body more to match the nib end. JMTSW.
