Stinger

[lykos33]

A week of fighting hornets all over the house, inside and out, and suddenly ...inspiration strikes, along with a hornet...right in the eyebrow...

Wicked fly, Murray. What hook did you use? It has a really cool profile.

Murray, way to put a positive spin on a painful event. I've never been stung by a hornet, but if and when...I hope to walk away with inspiration like this. Your Stinger would make a great little pattern around here about now.

Nice, I like this a lot. Sorry to hear about your eyebrow, damn hornets are nasty.

Murry, Howdy;

Hate the inspiration method but the results
are great!
Now the question ... does it sink or swim???

Sweet fly, could be named "eyebrow revenge"..... could think of less painful ways to be inspired though.
