Lovely dressing, Ray. I'm gonna have to dig out my silver badger hen. Somewhat reminds me of your fish catching POP series of flies.

Impeccable tying, as always.

PS. Your welcome. Note the name.

Thanks Ron. Noted and appreciated. You are a great moderator.

"POP" was what first came to mind for me as well. This is fly tying at the zenith, Ray -- absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks guys (includes Vicki). I started thinking of the metal rib after tying some silk POP's for Wayne. This fly is supposed to look like a tiny steelhead fly. I tye a larger fly (Winged Elvira) which has a similar color scheme. The silver badger looks nice against the peacock herl.

A very prestigious looking fly Ray Should have a royal Warrant attached to it
