Handsome fly, Dave. This pattern checks all the boxes, for a successful (fishing) season. ;)

Thank you for sharing.

That really has "the look", Dave. Very nice blend of colors, good body taper, great hackle and decent head. I would use a tad fewer barbs in the tail per Leisenring and Hidy, but that's strictly a personal thing. The curvature and length of the tail barbs are spot on. Overall, an excellent job.

Dave,
A wonderful pattern to behold! Bill is right in that all the proportions are very pleasing to our eyes and hopefully to the fishes! I like what you do and how you do it!

That would be a super March Brown pattern for the Secret Santa Swap!
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
