The philoplume thorax gives a very nice effect. I like the coloration of the Hazel Grouse.

Edit - I keep coming back to look at this fly again. This fly just seems to have so much life to it. I need to see if I can work up a variation using Partridge, or some other grouse that I have on hand.

Very nice, Hans. Makes me wonder what it looks like wet.

Very nice Hans. The philoplume does it for me as well. I'm sure it must really undulate in the current.
