Re: Reed's Gunnison Coachman
I can easily see this fly coming to a fly box near me.
I like the idea of a thicker thorax with the herl. Never thought of that before. And the body shape going along the hook is excellent.
I am very inspired by this fly and I believe I have everything but the hook to tie a few. I gotta check my hook supply and see.

Oh wow! That's a handsome dressing.
I can't get over how glossy/glassy your white calf tail hair is. Probably the finest quality I've scene.
