Handsome fly. I like the profile and proportions.
What does the name mean? I do not know the phrase "Coullis".

Very nice Hans!
I have packets of cheap dyed Guinea, now I have a use for some of it. Being aimed at the craft market I will have to check the dye used wasnt water soluable though!

I asked Google, and it told me it is a colorful cooking sauce; Hans confirmed this, but ask him what he originally intended to name this fly ...
