fishhead, Howdy;

Sparse dosen't even begin to discribe that...
More like an extream abundance of minimalism.

Very nice...

Wow, that is a terrific midge pattern. Very delicate profile. I am very impressed.

I am curious about your thinking, regarding the position of the hackle. It appears to be to the rear of the peacock herl. Is there a specific reason?

No real reason other than trying something different.

That's a standard style of fly-peacock herl head with hackle behind it.
