Beautiful Hans.
Not just "joining the fun" but eclipsing any I offered.
Great looking fly and photo.

Flawless, as usual.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force... Amazing tie: did you whip-finish at the eye, or with a little bit of extra dubbing behind the hackle?

The latter. A thread whip finish for security, and a dubbed whip finish for neatness.

Excellent, I should have picked up on that from the order of your materials list. BTW, that's a great looking dubbing mix for the thorax--between it and the cream abdomen I'd fish that fly to everything from Cahill's to Hendrickson's in my part of the world.

Zen-like simplicity

Hans, Howdy;

I see what I see
opulant splender
I pity da Fool ...
