I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Beautiful fly, Carl. I love the look of the raffia body. I don't remember seeing it used as a body material for these flies, but I love the look of it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great hook. I've been planning to pick some up on E-bay one of these days.
