Fabulous dressing, Bill! That aught to work like a charm. I love the look of the fuzzy segmentation. Very natural looking.

The hooks showed up today, Mark ... thanks so much. I'll try my hand at an Artistic JazzFly when we get back from Wisconsin.

A nicely dressed fly, but it looks more like a Blae Variation to me. ;)

Hi Bill,

Nice fly and nicely tied also. I like the oldfashioned (?) atmosphere in this picture. Reminds me of the years 1930!!

Judging from the limited response, perhaps this should be "Blah Variation" ...

I hope you're kidding. This looks like a fly that I would love, if that makes any sense. I love a lot of flies, but if I were to sit and use my own preferences for the result, I would hope it would resemble this one. Great use of every material and proportions that ring true for me. Have a great time in Wisconsin. Tag a couple big muskies and get a grip and grin pic for sure.
