Now THAT is one seductive looking fly! Another masterpiece, Rodger. The photo should be printed and framed. Incredible...

I concur!
Great looking fly and photo. Really like the glowing head and sharp crisp hackle colours.

These patterns never disappoint. Beautiful composition full of life. I really enjoy your style of shorter, flymphy soft-hackles.
