Ray,
A little more on that werewolf thorax.
Is that a Paul Beel Frankendub (FrankenFly) blend or just a creation of your magic fingers?
Either way, that looks like it would come alive the moment it hit the water.
I like it.
I love fishing some of the heavier riffs where the local rainbows like to hold.
Slightly stiffer hackles and a tad longer than usual is often the key to a solid take in those situations.
Those "over sized" would be just the ticket.
Nicely done.
those Golden Plover Breast Feathers are some of the nicest looking game hackles I've ever used and the way they sweep back is great! Gotta get a few more in the future. Bob I've been on the Cookshill waiting list and I think it's up to 40. Steve thinks he will be dead by the time that happens. Put ...
Nice work, Tom.

That is outstanding, Ray.
The watercolor gives it a unique look too.
I have a modest collection of some special flies I really should mount.
I noticed you used a frame with an insert that allows spacing between the matte and glass.
Is that something you made or did you find that in a craft store?
