Another gem Adrian..... and we certainly enjoyed your "foray"!

It's always a bit fun researching Glasso's flies online. He tied variants of his patterns, substituted materials from time to time, and also tied variants at the request of friends.

I enjoyed reading Russ's (@flytyer) take on Glasso's flies here on Speypages (such a wealth of info - worth a tyer's time to search for @flytyer's posts).

Russ's posts were so incredibly helpful....
I think reading somewhere that Glasso often used hooded merganser flank feathers in place of the Bronze Mallard in some of his variations of the Gold Heron and Brown Heron flies...and again at the collar....

So now we get to see what your fingers create when you start feestyling.....😂

I would love to use Merganser next time (I believe I have some Merg feathers)

If you can't find any... i can send you some premium hooded merganeezer for sure Adrian! I always seem to shoot a nice drake at some point in the fall.
