CreationBear, Howdy;
Reminds me of one of my favorite lines from "The Lion King".

Jon, Lucian is a serious talent. I had seen that pattern a while ago and forgot. Thanks for the link. I believe I've seen that technique as well, although probably not as well executed and what a wonderfully conceived pattern. Just for a day, wouldn't it be nice to be able to put together a pattern like Lucian?
Hank...it's hard to miss with Disney humor in this house.

Definitely an elegant take on the chamois caddis idea--one of my friends is an avid tennis player, so I might have to accidentally-on-purpose warp one of his rackets.

William,
It looks as though if it fell out of the vice, it might wiggle across the table! Very real looking indeed. You do good work!
I am liking the Greenwells in the above post also!
Your pal,

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

Now that is a nice juicey looking morsel any self respecting trout would be hard pressed to let pass by!
Very nice tie.

A definite dinner bell for trout! Very cool pattern. No subtle segmentation there!
Really likin' that dubbing blend.

William - Tye up a half dozen of these and set them aside...we can test them on steelhead this fall. Better yet, tye them up and mail them to me. You can trust me (NOT!)...
Great fly! I love the hook, too.
