Very attractive fly, Hans! It would have been perfect if the head hadn't crowded the eye of the hook :o (I am just kidding, of course). The fly is flawless, as expected. I need to give this pattern a try. I really like this style of fly.

Good Lord, Man! Is there no end to your talent and imagination? Let's hope not. Excellent fly, reminds me of a dabbler style. Just beautiful, Hans.

An excellent fly Hans.
It would make a very good loch fly in larger sizes.

This would be an awesome fly for my early season ventures.
