Now that is really nice. Love the texture of the opossum over the silk. Nicely done.

Man, oh man, that is a pretty fly! One of your best to-date, and that is saying something.

Great fly, and photo....
Are you palmering the hackle through the thorax, or is that a traditional collar?
BTW, speaking of photo's: any chance you might share your setup? It seems all of y'all have kicked up your skilz a notch, while I'm still butting my head against the steep end of the learning curve.

Rodger - Could you describe how you created this fly? Can you offer any tips on forming the body of the fly?
