Beautiful buggy fish magnet that would grace any flybox and work almost anywhere. 8-)

Exceptional job with the hackle.

I agree, a universal fly that should work anywhwere. I like the use of Hares Ear Plus in the body and thorax. Nice work!

Nice proportions and great profile. I really like all that shaggy thorax dubbing supporting the hackle. Great composition.

Dan,
Fantastic looking pattern! Yours is especially good in proportion and seamless execution! What else is on the menu?
