Tom,
I see you located your ringneck pheasant pelt!
Cute bug. Interesting feathers, those, no? Quite the distinct (almost) absence of taper in the barbs.
Cheers,
Hans W

Yes, some of the brown feathers just below the white ring have some beautiful markings on them. Not to mention some nice iridescent green.

I like the contrast of the green rib. Nice fly!

The phrase "You're on a roll" is beyond exhausted. You tie a mean spider my friend. Keep it up.

Agreed. You do tie a "mean spider", no doubt about it, in my book.
