Simple says what simple does, and there are few flies simpler than these two. Still, I think they make a handsome pairing

Amazing work again with those bodies. Looks like I need to spend some time with some split threads to get that effect and keep the bulk down. These are sweet.

Simple they may be, but they are still exquisite. A very nice pair that would be hard to refuse by fish or fisherpersons!
