At first glance the wing hair looks just like Polar Bear. One of my favorites.

Nice job Norman. ;)

that is the oddest rib wrap I've seen. One wrap. I wonder if this is in the old Roy Patrick's fly pattern book as it strikes me as a west coast pattern. Good job Norm. I'm slowly working my way thru what you posted earlier.

Norm, I've been viewing your flies for close to two decades now, I think, from back in the old FAOL days. You never cease to amaze me. I've seen some complicated patterns from you that were dressed to perfection, but even your simpler patterns are so well done, they are art. I'd hang them on the wall, they'd never see water. Wonderful fly dressing.
