Bill, I always like the modeling on plover. Nice combination and great fly. I'll have to make more use of wire dubbing brushes. Nicely done.

t2f,

That is a beauty! Well dressed indeed. Love the look of Plover on almost any fly, coupled with the red wire dubbing brush and the color of the Chadwick's, it is impressive. Don't know how it's done with the fish, but you've caught a fisherman.

Thats a bit like one that I tie, and I can assure you it will do well with the fish, too.

I didn't understand the name of the fly until I read the recipe (Faux77 = Chadwick 477). Pretty clever name. Great fly, Bill.

Yes - both tasty, artistic and the real deal. Colour, curve of hackle, contrast to the hook - if I were British I might call it a lovely fly.
