Mark (s-h), Howdy;
Who dosen't like a "Snickers".......
What I said about the "Hareristable" applies here as well.
For some reason I have "That feeling" that the fuzzy flys will do more catchin' in that river than anything else...

That is a beautiful fly. Looks like one to fish with confidence.

Where are you obtaining your "speckled hen" hackle?
Could you post a pic of a cape if you havent already?
Thanks,
Wayne

Hen hackle wraps so nicely and comes in so many colors and degrees of motling.....it's the perfect material. Ya'll gotta remember, all those old farts from back in the days.........if they'da had what we have nowdays.....they'da used it. They didn't have no fly shops or Whiting Farms, so they hadda shoot whatever was in the backyard.....or out nestin' in the barn.
