				Really lovely fly, Charlie.  Is the leader mono?  What hook is that?  Very graceful lines.

				Marvelous craftsmanship Charlie.
I’d frame that one for display.  WAY to nice to let a fish ruin.

				REE,
The hook is a Mustad #3366, 3/0, with the eye cut off.  Mono used instead of gut for the snell.
Ray,
It was tied to be part of a framed donation for the Wounded Warrior project.

I am in awe!  Your pattern is absolutely beautiful!  The hook is like no other I have ever seen!  
Please post some more of your incredible work!
