Dearest Premerger,
M-E-O-W-W-W! That is a really cool pattern on a really cool looking hook! This "series", if I may call it that, is quite interesting! Please keep'm coming!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

Hello DOUGSDEN!
I'm glad you like pattern and hook.
This week will tell if our trout like it too
All the best,

Laugh it up fuzzball!
Great fly Tim. Nice and scruffy (compliment). Love it.

May the Force be with you young Skywalker as you take the good fight to the dark side of the North Island Brown Trouts.

Tim

Good one. I am a huge Star Wars fan. I always loved the scenes with Chewie.
I have no doubt about the effectiveness of this fly. Just wish I could stand back and watch you fish it.

Tim, I'm digging the pattern. I would thought Chewie would be bigger.
I like this 6/0 thread for a split thread. It's a nice effect to see the thread compliment the dubbing.
