Before I opened the thread and read the inspiration, I was thinking Shaun White, the X-Games, guy, and expecting something with a red hackle.

This is nicer. I really like the thick tapered body on this fly. Kinda Grub-wormy.

Kirk - That's hysterical! Come on Hans, show us the Shawn White wingless wet.

PS - Kirk, our minds think alike. When I looked at the Snowboarder pattern, I thought grub/maggot imitation...and dead drifting to steelhead. Bet this thing would slay...
