Telephone Box – Dr. Burke Pattern
I’ve always loved this pattern Don. Not sure if it’s more the name or the pattern itself….
Thanks Chris – the name is certainly interesting, and it is a beautiful fly!
Don, this is an absolutely wonderful pattern. Jungle cock is nearly impossible to acquire and the use of it makes the wing really stand out.
Hi Don;
Thank you for your comment, and I especially appreciate that you dug into the archives to find this pattern. I’ve always been intrigued by the name, and the pattern itself is beautiful. Glad you like it!
