Nicely done Tom. This is one of my favorite classic flymph patterns for fishing.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

That's a beauty, Tom. The proportions and color are what I expect on a JL tie of that pattern. (Personally I would build a teeny bit more taper into the abdomen, but that's just me channeling Pete Hidy. ;) )
