On the heels of Hans' "Mist" pattern, I'll toss one up that I think will make a killer little point fly.
Starling Duff and Red
Hook: red scud hook #16, maker unknown
Thread: black Griffiths 14/0
Thorax: duffy material from base of hackle feather
Hackle: Starling.
Yes...this in the middle of a conversation where I decree color to fall lower on my list of importance....I'm a walking contradiction.

Ha, like the man said, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."
Nice fly--I could definitely see the "sippers" going for this in the film.

It's not Your fault - that's just hook finish...
Nice one!

Good use of the "duffy " material. An enterprising person could make some money packaging that and giving it a fancy name for re-sale at better fly shops around the world.
(And I like the hook color, too.)

Kind of a Buzzer/Midge pattern William.
