I like that pattern -- it should fish well.

fishhead, Howdy;

That is a fly that comes across as, warm, fuzzy, cuddley & freindly... I like it a lot.

Beautiful fly. I love the look of the curved hook, silk ribbing and the hackling. Great pattern.

FH, this has a nice unified quality to it. You almost always see Starling used in a sparse manner, but this fly will make quite an impression, especially in darker water, or down deep. Interesting to see that density from Starling.

thanks for the comments. Will I use 2 feathers with starling on a few of my flies, the fish seem to like it too
