Very nice. That would appear to be a great brookie fly.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Bill, you've done another killer little Tenkara pattern. Surprised you're still tying these considering the fad has just about come to its end. :D Just kidding.
