Mark,
That's a beauty—the classic pattern. You may have already seen Pete Hidy's version that was in the Flyfisher's Club of Oregon article. I don't think he would have approved of these curved hooks, however.

CB,
It's Blue Dun hen.

Hank,

I don't know, GingerDun. Pete might have surprised you. That hook is a nice up eye with loads of implied action giving the impression of an ascending insect. Right, Hans? That Hidy version is wonderful.

The radiation is not as sickening as chemotherapy. It makes me very tired, and I need to be close to the potty. :o :oops:

That fly just screams for fish to eat it. Well dressed example. The colors are striking.
