Looks a real fish catcher of a tie. I am not familiar with the original so cannot spot the variation!

That is some nice well flumed herl you have there, gives a very nice body.

Hans, thank you, all is clear, brighter and lighter than original. Both look worthy of space in my travelling fly box for June.

That's a great looking herl and a handsome pattern. I'm guessing the pattern is of Scottish origin with the reference to Alan. Such a good guy. I hope he's checking in on us from time to time.

Hans,

You have probably noticed that I am presently fixated on peacock herl flies (when time allows), so I appreciate this post, and link to the Ke He.
I'm following your other posts too, although I've not been taking the time to share my praise. Thanks for it all!

Lance
