Nicely done. That dubbing sure shows a nice sheen to it.

t2f,

Those little buggars are fun to tie, aren't they? Crazy effective as well. Nicely tied. As previously said, that seal has a wonderful sheen to it.

Great looking. You will take plenty on that fly, for sure.

Handsome fly, and no doubt very effective.
