I like Bumbles! They're fun to tie,and that's a very nice one!

An inspired take on an old classic; the photo background sets it off just right.

It's cool to see you working on the bumble flies. They are interesting and it looks like you've got the hang of it. Again, I haven't tried to tie these, but it looks great to me. Good color combination and a good shot too.

Thanks guys,

I have tied bumble style flies for years as I found they work great on the high lakes. But I haven't really sat down and learned much about them historically or studied the traditional components and construction until lately.

This was only a descriptive name don't know if there is a "golden bumble" in use already. This was just a work with a color scheme and materials not working with any established pattern.
