Not the fly I was thinking of when I saw the title. I am not disappointed though. Wonderful fly and dressing, Norm.

That's the best description of a fly I think I've ever heard.

Very nice, Norm. I'm going to add a few to my small mouth box. Lovely fly.

Journal? There's a DUBBN Journal? That would really be worth seeing. (Yes, Wayne, that's a hint.)

Wayne, When I read the title I was picturing something that was grossly overhackled. What you have pictures of doesn't fit the bill at all for me. That hackle fits the fly perfectly, at least to me. There's nothing about the fly I don't like, except I don't have any tied up yet. I can see a big trou...

RonR, Those worked great for me on the Selway and Lochsa last time I was there. With those glass beads, you can't drop your back cast on a gravel bar. Don't ask how I know.

I've always loved the look of this fly. Don't know why, it just strikes a chord with me. You've lost nothing by not repeating the tail sequence, in fact it looks much neater and cleaner this way. Beautiful dressing as always, Norm.

When I used to fish in Idaho a lot I used similar pattern except I used caddis green glass Killer Beads for the abdomen. They took a lot of fish. Yours should do as well. I used to pick the beads up here on my way over to Idaho. http://www.worleybuggerflyco.com/WAPSI/WapsiKillerCaddisGlassBeads.htm ...

Got to be honest, I tie a lot of these, some with variations. None look this good. Norm, you can take a staple of everyone's fly box and elevate it to art. Magic...it has to be magic.

Got my order in to Amazon. Also saw some with round containers and screw on lids. Decided to order both and see which I liked best. Just what I needed...more stuff.

Thanks for the info, guys.
