Mike,

I'm telling you purple loos good, and when you finally drift that fly you'll see what I mean.
Of course the hackle you used is spectacular and that will contribute to fly's success.

Nice work.

Alan

I like this one a lot. I will tie it and try it.

Alan

Well done on a most simple effective fly.

I like that Mike....

Ray, that is a Firehole 317 size 12.

It's strange, but it works.
Alan

Ray yours look more realistic then the ones I tie.
