Very nice, I’d like to tie some for this spring here in Mi. How many wraps of the starling did you use, and did you use the the whole feather or strip one side.
Thanks, Mike.

You're a consistently inspiring. Another "stealer" (as in I'm going to steal that pattern too! )

Nicely done Norm.

Nice fly, what size is the hook?

size 12 but could be tied in your favorite sizes

Beautiful fly, Norm. I'm going to steal this one for next season; it will work very well up here.
