Tom - This is a phenomenal fly. The color scheme, tying and photography are superb. Definitely crosses over the line into pure art, yet remains very fishable.

Tom,
It's electric! I really like this one! Nothing says regal like purple Pearsalls. You have done a good job in bringing together some awesome colors and textures for a fantastic looking pattern. I'll bet this one fishes well!!
Please keep us fed....we're hungry!

Brilliant in all respects!
