No, not yet, but I have high hopes it will do very well.

Beautiful fly Mark. The colors work well together.

PS - I often use the same technique to form the bodies on flies.

Mark, I just tied up my swap flies on the Daiichi 1640. It's a great looking hook and you've used the proportions really nicely with this fly.
