Hans, Howdy;

Nice quick WB.
I reckon that to get it to sink one could always
slip a bead onto the tippet like our friend
DUBBN does ???

Awesome! Even the woolly bugger gets the royal treatment. Lovely clean dressing.

BTW - I kinda liked the look of the fly, before the tip of the hackle was trimmed away. The hackle formed a long jaunty tail, sort of like one of the curly-tailed plastic grub patterns. It would be interesting to fish something like this.
