Still, ... it came out beautifully...

Hank,
You can always pinch on a split shot at the hook bend and you will get the same result!

Guys, that's Frankenstein's Monster, this is Frankenstein..... therefore he should be wearing a lab coat?
Nice contrast there, when wet with the hackle swept back it should be a really interesting fly with the hint of flashy yellow body underneath.

It's pronounced "Fronkensteen". Even Frau Blücher (horses neighing in the background) would be proud.
Movie Reference - "Young Frankensein" - One of the funniest movies ever IMHO.
In all seriousness, Tom, another superb creation. Wonderful...

Thanks Ray. I agree!

....with the movie, that is!
Mataura Mayfly, I just now noticed the yellow underbody! I cannot take credit for that though....pretty sure it is just a reflection of the orange color of the pepper onto the chartreuse green. Hmm...more ideas...
