Love it, and since I’m a total newbie to flymphs and wet flies I like that for Hendricksons here in Michigan, any thoughts?

That is a wonderful picture of a beautiful fly! What did you use for the background?

Thanks- Ken

Ken, this is a piece of walnut a friend of mine gave me from trees taken down on his property before building his house. It made for a great Clark Block .

Here is my pink thread version. May in Michigan is a great time for them. Even warmer April days
