What a lovely fly, Mark. Just beautiful. I'm very glad it was tied to honor Henry, for if it was for Jane, I'd have a completely different opinion.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "classic" flymph, Mark, but if there is, this one meets the requirements. To paraphrse the Croc Hunter, "...wot a little beauty".
