That is a lovely fly, Paul. It's nice to have you posting examples of your work on the forum.

Lovely fly Paul. I am glad you are posting your flies here on the Flymph Forum. Nicely done!

What hook did you use? I like the look of the short shank. You've done a really nice job with the proportions of the fly (tail length, body length, hackle length). Your fly has a nice balanced look to it.

I look forward to seeing more flies from you in the future. :D

Thanks guys!

Thank you Ray! I definitely plan to post more! I'm working on my flymph tying between tying orders.
Ray, the hook is a new hook being produced by Partridge of Redditch. It is called a Patriot Barbless Sproat Wet. This one is a size #14.
