Are you feeling lucky Punk? Well...are you?

I loved the Dirty Harry movies, when I was growing up. My dad and I used to watch these together.

Terrific fly, Tom! And the name makes it fun.

That's my kinda fly! That starling hackle is really great looking.
and superbly photographed as usual.

Neat fly, fantastic photo. You captured the irridescent green in that hackle really well.

Awesome! That is probably the best photo of starling hackle I can remember seeing, and the fly design and tying technique are flawless.
