I hope it was just creativity, not a recent loss that inspired the name for this fly. I love the idea of using the marabou for the thorax. Makes for a beautiful thorax.

Mark - I might have to steel this for a steelhead pattern.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
