Amazing how flies as simple as this can be some of the most effective..... Nice.

Great fly! I can use something like that to mimick the Black Caddis on the Bighorn, or any of the Winter Stones on my local rivers. Well done.

Nothing like "basic black". Goes with everything, works anywhere.
great lookin' tie.

Gig,
You nailed this one. Nice shaggy, buggy-looking fly. Like Bill says, nice shape and proportions.
Thanks for taking the time to let us see what you're up to this week.

Now that is a "GO TO" fly! Nice and buggy (sincere compliment). Looks like a confidence pattern.

That fly looks like a fish catchin' machine to me.
