Your technique in tying this fly and your photography skills are both superior. I am envious of both. Very well done sir.

Very nice.
Your coming along in leaps and bounds, best representation from a Kiwi tier within the last month- hands down.
Liking the colours, proportions and body taper. Tied on a barbed hook, I would add it to the arsenal.

Thank you for the kind comments.
We were out looking at tying lamps yesterday that might also be useful for photos.
Perphaps I'll stick with sunlight Wayne
Barbless v barbed??
Nope - not going there!

This is a nice fly, I'm curious about the hook though. What led you to choose a dark hook? Color contrast?

I think Smuggler, that rather than any well laid out plan,
I just like them
What would be your choice of hook for a similar fly?
