The prairie hen is very cool. Striking and different. I have some of those hooks. They are fun to tie on. I found you need to sharpen them before you fish though.

Speaking from very litte experience with Mustad hooks, the ones I have used often require sharpening- not just initial but the odd touch up now and then whilst fishing.
Not complaining, just an observation. Perhaps the ones I have used are from the days before chemical sharpening and modern hook making methods.

I like all the sharp angles on this fly...upturned eye, barb, hackle splayed out... Colors blend very well too. Marker on thread...nice touch. Great style!
