Love it! The tail looks like flames. Hot looking fly.

Hackle looks soft to me

Hans,
I have been thinking all day about the comment at the top of your photo "taking slight liberty
posting this one". And now I am thinking "What the Hey". It's your pattern and I kinda like the name you have given it! It seems appropriate because hardly ever does an animal die cleanly at our hands. Well done Hans!
I hope this doesn't stir up a huge controversy. Please no....

It could only be tacky if you had put a tire (tyre) tread imprint on it... (chuckle).

Doug,

You give me way too much 'deep thinking' credit here

The liberty I referenced was on posting a pattern which stretches the term "flymph" or "wingless wet"...

I have remained very true to the classic naming convention with the "bloody" part, such as Bloody Butcher where scarlet gets added to a rather dour looking Butcher pattern.

Cheers,
Hans W

Give me "Liberty" or give me death. .....KILLER Pattern Hans.....
