Great looking tie. I think the fish will be all over that.
I'm partial to those curved hooks, think they look a little more natural.

This one debuts right near the top of my favorite creations from your vise, w. Exceptional marriage of materials to achieve a certain "look".

Nice darker shades and very aquatic buggy looking.

I love the way the hackle and the dubbing marry into each other for a full thorax with legs. Nicely done!

Are you going after a caddis or mayfly here? Profile says caddis to me. I would think with a few tail fibers this would be a good march brown though.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
