I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Carl,
What everyone ahead of me has said....times ten! This one is shear elegance and so well crafted! You are continuing the fine tradition and that's pretty cool!

Carl, I must have missed this earlier. It's a nice compliment with the very light partridge. I had the opportunity to fish one of Bill Lovelace's tinsel bodied soft hackles in Montana this past summer and was thrilled that they connected as I had hoped. I always thought they were just too much, but Bill came in the cabin one evening swearing by this fly and he wasn't wrong. I love your pattern and can see how the delicate pattern could easily attract a strike and imitate an emerging caddis. Nice one.
