I love this fly! More importantly the fish love it. I often church it up a little with a hares ear or muskrat thorax. I prefer muskrat. I also like to these "brassie" versions of the classics with colored wire. So for example partridge with yellow or orange wire, snipe with purple wire, waterhen with olive wire...you get the idea. Well done!
