Wow Updtate!
This is a really cool pattern! We kinda forget sometimes how good wings really make a fly! And you have done an excellent job in winging this pattern! It's about as close to the original tie as many of us will see! I am liking that Daiichi 1480 hook too! It adds a bunch to the overall good look of the pattern!
Well done friend! We look forward to seeing more from your talented hands! Please bring more of Roger Fogg's patterns to our screens!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

Boy that is one handsome fly Tom. I’m surprised it hasn’t drawn more attention.

Holy Cow, Tom! That's a beautiful fly. To my eye those wings are perfectly set. Just superb. Hard to believe you posted it back in February and I just now found it.

Re: The Stone Bloa
I am speechless, because words can't describe it. At least not in my vocabulary. Never have I thought you could, as in being allowed, to put wings like that with a soft hackle. I have lots to learn and you ar teaching this young grasshopper plenty.
Simply beautiful.
