Great looking fly!
Excellent job
awesome…….betcha it s a killer…..definatley goin in my collection
Very nice job I’ll be tying this one up soon
This fly will have a lot of “movement” – looking forward to tying and fishing it. .
I really like your use of CDC for the extended body. The method should work very nicely for a wide variety of “mayflies”. Thanks
