Nice fly Chase creek! Blue body materials never caught my eye until I obtained a few spools of Pearsall's blue thread. Now I see a blue body on a fly & admire it.

I like the touch dubbing! It adds some softness, "halo effect", to the body. Well done!
By the way, anyone know where one can find some of that blue Pearsall's?

Another nice one, CC. Great fly. I've been meaning to tie up a number of flies with a dubbed head. The proportions of this do it for me. It's on a very long list, but I'll get to it.
