Izaak, Howdy;

Dang, thought you'd put some deepsea diver's boots on/under it ....

Still, ... it came out beautifully...

PS. Might find a spot for an electrode a=or 2 ......

Hank,

You can always pinch on a split shot at the hook bend and you will get the same result!

Yea, then as it comes across the room it would sound , tap (lead shot), skitter (hook point), tap, skitter .........

Guys, that's Frankenstein's Monster, this is Frankenstein..... therefore he should be wearing a lab coat?

Nice contrast there, when wet with the hackle swept back it should be a really interesting fly with the hint of flashy yellow body underneath.

It's pronounced "Fronkensteen". Even Frau Blücher (horses neighing in the background) would be proud.

Movie Reference - "Young Frankensein" - One of the funniest movies ever IMHO.

In all seriousness, Tom, another superb creation. Wonderful...

Thanks Ray. I agree! ....with the movie, that is!

Mataura Mayfly, I just now noticed the yellow underbody! I cannot take credit for that though....pretty sure it is just a reflection of the orange color of the pepper onto the chartreuse green. Hmm...more ideas...
