My kinda fly! I'm a sucker for a curved hook and lots of "buggy".
Outstanding tie.

Nice fly I think I would fish it in Fox Squirrel and brown phase Partridge as well. 8-)

Yet another outstanding combination of materials and colors. The ribbing adds just the right amount of bling.

Thanks everyone. I just find these buggy flies very satisfying.

Agreed. You can get a couple shades from a Fox Squirrel hide and a darker mix with a darker hackle would be nice to have in the box as well.

Thanks again.
