Really nice looking blend of materials. I'm getting to grow fond of ostrich.

Wayne - If this were an Olympic event, it would take a Gold Metal! World class fly, my friend. Bravo.

That is a really good looking fly. I love the subued tones, suits what our brown trout love to take long before glitz and glitter.

All-around great! The quail is a perfect hackle for that fly.

Wayne, this is beautifully done. Another of your muskrat variations. I like the muskrat tails on this as they pick up the tones of the hackle. Cool fly.
