Very nice FF1955 !

Lovely pattern. PT & Plover makes a great combo.

Very well done.

A great all-round fly for several emergers!

Nightwatchman,
Excellent combination of two of the greatest materials in the fly tying world, Pheasant tail and Plover! I really like this combination! I think we all go thru the usual cycle of Starling and PT, Partridge and PT, Hen and PT....but, your combination has that certain "buggy" appeal! I can't wait until you flounce these in front of your favorite friends (the finny ones)!

I would bet with that color scheme those flies would be awesome in murky water right before run off starts.

Very nice looking flies.

Awesome pattern, Ken....... must look fantastic when it’s wet.

Dana,

I have no previous experience with this pattern. It was mentioned over on the Bamboo Forum--pheasant tail, plover, and orange thread, so I just thought I would give it a try!

My photography skills are rather limited, but I tried..............

Fly is actually in a small bowl of water on top of original blue background:

If I was a fish and I saw the fly in picture #3, I think I would eat it!

Ken,

That pattern looks great! Very good combination of colors and good segmentation on the ribbing.
That fly will catch fish!
