Stupid question...when you say "Heron variation", is that the material heron (as in feather from a heron) or the name of a person?
I like this fly. It sort of looks like a cross between a muddler and a hornberg (tyed in-the-round). I'd be tempted to add a dash of yellow to the pattern (hornberg nod).
Inspiring work, as always.

With a little tweaking I might be able to make that into a shrimp pattern.

Ray,
From what I can find, the original Wooduck Heron was a New Hampshire pattern developed by Nick Lambrou; not sure if he was inspired by salmon/spey flies that used heron for hackle.

Bet that would work for Sea Trout. Very nice.

Scott,
You have yet again inspired me to try this beautiful, yet appearing to be very simple to tie, pattern! I like the look of the wood duck flank feathers which always make a pattern look great! This thing has smallmouth bass written all over it! I would suspect a trout or two as well!
Great stuff! Please keep them going!
Doug
