Those colors have been very popular here in the Rockies for a short time (Rainbow Warrior). You do very good work sir!

Should work equally well on trout and panfish. Beautiful fly.

An eye catcher for sure; I like very much what you've done with the hackle.

I like it! :D These little glass beads are the only ones I actually DON'T mind using on a fishing fly. They give so much more to the fly than the metal do, except maybe the extra weight.
