Great looking fly and very appropriate color combination for All Hallow's' Eve. :) :)

Great fly! I have used this pattern for years with a gold bead head for steelhead. Always in the box. As usual Hans you have taken fly I never thought of as a thing of beauty only utilitarian and made a model of it. Thanks for sharing this one.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Hans, I admire your composition as much as your technique. This is really nicely done with such a nice eye for proportions. Thanks for sharing this.
