I just used the word 'sublime' to describe one of Norms flies; I'm going to bestow the word 'ethereal' on yours. Your fly oozes light...

Re: March Dun
Just an observation..., but I'd love to see your version of 'crap' and the first two attempts. My guess is, they were spectacular. It may be a 'simple' fly to you, but to my eye, it borders on the sublime. Nicely done, Norm. Nicely done.
